The LSU College of Agriculture Student Association hosted a pumpkin painting event Monday from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. to connect students and spread the fall spirit as midterms wound down.

ASA’s mission is to represent LSU Agriculture students, guiding them through personal growth, good fellowship and networking to create a better career path for the students. The organization acts as the voice for the College of Agriculture students at LSU.

ASA hosts one event a month, whether it’s a social, community or career event. At these events, agriculture students have the opportunity to learn and meet new people involved with their major.

“When I was a freshman I participated in ASA’s event to meet more students in College of Ag,” said ASA President and animal science junior Abbygail Davis. “Now being a host at these events, it’s amazing to see students come together and connect through painting.” 

Students of all majors came together to get in the fall spirit. The array of designs created showed off the diversity of the students who attended. From spooky designs to cute ones, these students painted them all. 

“The pumpkin painting activity created a laid-back atmosphere that allowed students to connect with one another and to most importantly have fun,” said English literature freshman Nick Porter. “It allowed me to hang out with my friends while decompressing through a creative outlet.”
