Letter From Margot
After the excitement of welcoming new Tigers to campus
in August, it feels good to be back in the swing of things
with the start of classes and all of the returning Tigers back
on campus now too. The building is extremely busy, espe-
cially in Tiger Lair (LSU Dining) and our meeting rooms
(Event Management). We don’t want to miss anything, so
please take time to provide feedback to us about anything
that you think needs attention, could be improved, or is
something you like!
No matter is too small, as we know the details are what matter. You can communicate with
us through our website link, asfacilities@lsu.edu, or any of us in person. We appreciate
feedback!
LSU Dining started off the school year with the unveiling of their new teaching kitchen
during Bengal Bound at Late Night LSU in the Student Union. We are also excited with the
new buffet offerings at the Club at Union Square. Stay tuned for new furniture and a paint
refresh coming to the Club later this semester. And donut miss the new gourmet delights
from LSU Dining’s new partner Thee Heavenly Donuts at City Pork in the Design School and
all CC’s locations on campus. Finally, we are thrilled that Panera Bread is now open in the
Patrick F Taylor building!
As some of you may have heard, we bid farewell last month to Kurt Caillouet, Director of
Facilities and Operations who worked at LSU for over fourteen years. During this transition
time, please forward any issues needing attention to me, margotc@lsu.edu. I hope every-
one has a smooth transition from summer to the academic year. And get your purple and
gold ready to go because of course, September also means football!
Geaux Tigers!

LSU Dining Auxiliary Services Announcements Updated Free Speech Alley and Circle Policies Due to a legislative act that was signed this past Louisiana legislative session, the University has reevaluated policies related to outdoor space used for free speech. Therefore, the policies and procedures for Free Speech Alley and Free Speech Circle have been updated. Those areas are available for expressive activities, including all forms of peaceful assembly, protest, speech, distribution of literature, carrying signs, and circulating petitions. This expressly excludes commercial activities where individuals or groups are being compensated or attempting to advertise, market, or accrue financial gain to any individual, corporation, business, or organization. Individuals or groups are permitted to use these areas without reservation or approval. For Free Speech Alley, we will continue to provide one table per reservation for LSU Departments or Registered Student Organizations if requested by our deadline of 9:00 a.m. two business days prior. Free Speech Circle can no longer be reserved and equipment will not be provided by LSU Auxiliary Services. However, individuals or groups wishing to occupy this space, may do so on a first-come basis. If you have any questions or if you would like to receive the full updated policies, please email Rachel Henry at rshenry@lsu.edu. Auxiliary Showcase We will be highlighting all areas of our unit on November 13th at the Auxiliary Services Showcase! Please start thinking of the best ways to really show off your area to the campus community! Over the next few weeks, we’ll be meeting with each area to brainstorm ideas of how to best showcase the entire unit. Get excited!
Student Employee Monthly Development We are excited to kick off our monthly student employee development opportunity on Wednesday, September 12th at 6:00 p.m. in the Magnolia Room! The Student Health Center will be presenting on stress and time management. This is available to all student employees that work in the LSU Student Union and is a great opportunity for your student employees to learn about activities in the building, develop personally and professionally, as well as network with other students that work in the building. Plus, there will be food! If you are interested in learning more, please contact Brennan Morris at bmorr39@lsu.edu. Trap Bingo Fun Interested in a modern twist on an old classic?

However, the functionality will remain the same. It will not appear as colorful but announcements will be shown on the left side of the screen. Worklets will be moved to the right side of the screen. Also, when creating expense reports, the “+” sign that was previously used to itemize expenses has been removed and you will not have to click “add”.

Auxiliary Services Highlights
CONGRATULATIONS!
Congratulations Chloe for completing the 2018
class of LEAD LSU! LEAD LSU is a leadership
development program for high performing and
emerging leaders at the university. The program
focuses on building and strengthening leadership
skills which support the University’s strategic
objectives and enhances the level of knowledge,
skills, and abilities of LSU’s most important
resources, its employees.
Great Job!
The Tiger Card Office produced over 5,000 Tiger Cards this
summer and received positive feedback from
orientation leaders and incoming students. Throughout this busy
season, Tiger Card student workers who displayed excellent
service skills earned entries into a prize drawing. Kaitlyn, Kaylee
and Hannah had fun choosing their numbers for the drawing.
Great Job to all of our student worker staff for a successful
summer!
Bengal Bound & Late Night LSU | Thank You!
Thank you so much to everyone that helped welcome the new Tigers to the Union during Bengal

wonderful experience for #LSU22! Your hardwork and dedication to this campus and its students
is so appreciated! Let’s keep the good times rolling!
