Looking for LSU Discover?

That's us!

As of December 2024, the LSU Discover Undergraduate Research Program is now the Office of Undergraduate Research (LSU OUR)

We still offer the same support, resources, and programs to undergraduate researchers at LSU, just with a name for our office that more accurately represents who we are, who we serve, and what we do. 

In the coming months you will see the names "LSU Discover" and "LSU Discover Undergraduate Research Program" completely phased out. Thank you for your patience while we work through this transition.
