    While in her senior year at LSU, one of Alicia Vidrine’s professors posed a simple question to her during an encounter at the student union.

    Had she secured a job after graduation?

    The conversation quickly turned to an internship opportunity at the Tiger Athletic Foundation. 

    Now, 20 years later, Vidrine is vice president and chief financial officer of the organization. Since that day in the student union, she has overseen the finances of several facility upgrades and capital improvements, including the storied south end zone addition to Tiger Stadium and the Football Operations and Performance Nutrition Center renovation project.
