Hi Family and Friends,

I’m currently in a joint academic program at Louisiana State University (LSU) where I’m earning my Juris Doctor (JD) and Master of Business Administration (MBA) degrees. I’ve completed my first year of law school and am now finishing my one-year MBA program.

Each year, the E.J. Ourso College of Business takes students on an international business trip to give us hands-on experience and a global perspective on business and leadership. This year one of the options is to explore business opportunities in Europe. This opportunity will allow me to apply what I’ve learned in the classroom to real-world settings and further develop my skills for my future career in law and business.

️Trip Dates: March 5–14, 2026

Program Cost (without flight): $3,110 *Since the trip has been completely booked by students, it has been decreased to $2999. I’ve already paid the $200 deposit which leaves me at a $2799 balance. (see email in slides)*

✈️ Flight: Around $1,000 (which I plan to cover myself)

I’m asking for your support to help make this incredible learning experience possible. Any donation, big or small, will go directly toward my program costs. Your generosity will help me represent LSU abroad, gain valuable knowledge, and bring those lessons back to pour into my community.

I’ve also shared some photos from previous LSU international trips so you can see what an amazing experience this will be!

Thank you all so much for your love, encouragement, and any seed you choose to sow.

With gratitude,

Sierra Thomas
