Crime Prevention Bettered by Combining Computer Science and Entrepreneurship
LSU is encouraging students to pair computer science and entrepreneurship as it empowers students to plan, design and optimize technology while instilling a wide range of skills in project management and business entrepreneurship.
A real-life example of this pair in action is Crimer, a crime prediction software, which started as a project in an LSU computer science class in 2018. Since the software’s creation, the students started a company, also named Crimer, and have raised $500,000 and have 12 employees – 11 of whom are current or former LSU students.

Few obstacles are more perplexing for job seekers than being told you’re overqualified. The problem can crop up anytime, even early in applicants’ careers, and often when they least expect it. Trying to overcome hirers’ misgivings can feel like shadowboxing with a ghost. New research lends insight into some of the quirky and often counter-intuitive reasons managers decide somebody is just too good for the job—reasons applicants can sometimes overcome with forethought and skillful communication.

Let’s Hear It for the Guy Who Gets the Football in Front of the Right Feet
College football has two new awards for the ‘long snapper’ - the guy who hikes the ball for a punt or kick; ‘the nurse who hands the right instrument to the surgeon’
LSU Flores MBA student Blake Ferguson was quoted in the Wall Street Journal last week. Upon winning the award, Ferguson stated,he wasn’t formally contacted and only learned about it through social media.
"Even the first Binn Award winner, LSU long snapper Blake Ferguson, didn’t know where it came from. He learned he had won the award in December through social media.
'They had tagged me in their tweet,' he said. 'And then they reached out via direct message to kind of congratulate me and all that.'"
