CBS News contributor and Louisiana native David Begnaud is launching a storytelling initiative highlighting college students who exemplify kindness, resilience, and community impact. Begnaud introduced his vision to representatives from Louisiana’s public and private colleges.
“And so what we’re doing is asking college students to nominate another student or person who has done something extraordinary for someone else.”
Commissioner of Higher Education Kim Hunter Reed praised the project, emphasizing the opportunity to showcase students’ impactful work.
“What an exciting project for Louisiana to highlight our own. So, we are very honored that David has selected Louisiana colleges and universities to go first in this project.”
Begnaud, passionate about celebrating Louisiana’s people, encourages students to nominate peers who are making a meaningful impact. Begnaud says the initiative seeks stories that inspire and unite.
“These are stories that have depth and context, but at the end o the day will tug at your heart. This is what makes storytelling memorable.”
Know a student with an extraordinary story? Nominate them by emailing deardavid@cbsnews.com.
