get up and geaux big!

What once was a single day of service has expanded to a week-long opportunity to give back. Geaux Big Baton Rouge is LSU's largest student service event to the Baton Rouge community.

The event is designed to cultivate a fun, inclusive and collaborative celebration of service that encourages campus-wide participation while allowing students to volunteer directly alongside the members of the community they are serving.
