About the Chancellor's Challenge Blogs

A couple of years ago, LSU AgCenter Chancellor Bill Richardson decided to write a blog for a year and tell about his efforts to eat better, eat less and exercise more. He wanted to debunk some of the myths about how to lose weight through fad diets, which never work in the long run. And he wanted to point people to the wealth of information about healthy living available on the AgCenter’s Website. These blogs also feature comments from AgCenter nutrition experts. Occasionally, there is a guest blogger. Read the chancellor’s blogs from 2007-2008.

One spin-off of the chancellor’s initial challenge to his employees was the formation of a wellness committee, which plans various activities and events for AgCenter employees to encourage them to adopt a healthier lifestyle. During 2008-2009, members of this committee and others in the AgCenter wrote blogs about their personal experiences on the journey to better health. Read their blogs.
