Third-year LSU Law student Samantha Jacobsen was one of 14 students selected for the 2023 LSU Homecoming Court, serving as an ambassador for the university at events held throughout the week leading up to the football game against Army on Saturday, Oct. 21.
Although she wasn’t named Homecoming Queen during the LSU-Army football game, she was “really thrilled” by the opportunity to represent LSU Law as part of the court and be a part of the on-field festivities in Tiger Stadium during halftime.
“I kept pinching myself throughout the whole process,” said Jacobsen, a Tampa, Florida native who earned her bachelor’s degree in political science and international affairs at Florida State University in 2021. “It was absolutely surreal walking on the field and seeing everyone in the stands—especially as an out-of-state student. It was great to show my love for LSU.”
Prior to joining the LSU Homecoming Court for the on-field celebration during the LSU-Army game, Jacobsen joined her classmates at the LSU Law All-Alumni Tailgate, where third-year law students were celebrated during the annual Hats ‘n Canes Toast.
At LSU Law, Jacobsen serves as a student ambassador and is a member of the Board of Advocates. As a member of the LSU Law ABA Arbitration Team in 2022, she placed as a regional semifinalist in the ABA Arbitration Competition. After graduating next spring, Jacobsen plans to return home to Tampa to pursue her law career.
The Homecoming Court is comprised of 14 LSU students who are chosen based on an application and interview process, through which the university seeks representatives who have positively contributed to the LSU community through their exemplary leadership, service, and spirit.
