Meet Tyler Escobio, a United States Army veteran and proud student at Louisiana State University of Alexandria, graduating with a B.A. in History (Pre-Law concentration). This summer, Tyler will attend Harvard University to pursue a Master’s degree in Religion, with plans to continue on to law school and beyond.

“My time at LSUA has been nothing short of incredible… thank you for the best years of my life.”

In addition to his academic achievements, Tyler has also been a familiar face on stage at LSUA, frequently performing in Empty Space Players productions and contributing to the campus arts community. He most recently played Charles in "Pippin" for his last semester on campus.

Tyler extends his appreciation to campus as a whole, but especially Dr. Christopher Stacey, Dr. Holly Wilson, and Professor Patrick Hunter for their support in making his college experience extra meaningful.
