Keena Smith
Executive Director, Student Health Center
As a social worker by training, I have always been drawn to understanding people as
a whole individual. Working in healthcare for many years has shown me how deeply well-being
is connected
to every part of a person鈥檚 life. Here at LSU, I can combine that holistic perspective
with my passion for helping students learn to thrive.

New Orleans Roots With a Little Texas Flair
I am a native New Orleanian, growing up in New Orleans, you have a deep love for all things LSU, Saints, and gumbo. I carried that love with me to Texas and now back to Louisiana. However, I did bring my cowboy boots with me from Texas.
Now Streaming
I watch entirely too much TV; it is a passion of mine. The top three TV shows, which may be very controversial, are The Sopranos, The Office, and Game of Thrones.
The Best Piece of Advice I've Ever Been Given is.
鈥淚t鈥檚 not how you start, it鈥檚 how you finish.鈥� Just reminds me that life rarely begins perfectly. You make mistakes, you face setbacks, or even feel behind. But ultimately, what matters is how you respond and keep pushing through.
