In Loving Memory of Toni Stephenson
The E. J. Ourso College of Business mourns the loss of Toni Stephenson.
Toni and her husband, National Board member Emmet Stephenson, have been longtime, generous supporters of LSU. Together, they have given more than $25 million to LSU over the last 30 years, including through transformational investments in LSU’s Stephenson Disaster Management Institute, Stephenson Entrepreneurship Institute, Stephenson Department of Entrepreneurship & Information Systems, and the School of Veterinary Medicine.
We celebrate Toni’s legacy with tremendous gratitude.
