Tiger Twelve Class of 2023 Spotlight: Zachary Mayfield

Zachary Mayfield, originally from Slidell, La., is set to graduate with a degree in agricultural and extension education from Louisiana State University. During his time on campus, Mayfield actively participated in various extracurricular activities to enhance his personal and professional growth.

He held leadership positions for Louisiana FFA, College of Agriculture Les Voyageurs, Block and Bridle Club, Collegiate FFA and Omicron Delta Kappa National Leadership Honor Society. Additionally, he was an Agriculture Residential College mentor and member of the LSU senior homecoming court.

He credited his personal and professional growth to his relationship with the Dean's Office of Recruitment and Retention, where he has served as a student worker since his first year at LSU. He expressed with gratitude to former assistant dean Amanda Martin and assistant director of recruitment Henry Hebert for their guidance and mentorship.

Mayfield was also appreciative of LSU College of Agriculture faculty and staff members Kristin Stair, Monica Guient, Lindsey Kelly and Ashley Grant for their open-door policy and guidance throughout his time at LSU.

"Being selected as part of the Tiger Twelve Class of 2023 lets me know that all of the hard work, long hours, involvement and working to leave campus a better place than I found has finally been rewarded," he said. "It is so surreal that everything I have done has been appreciated but more so recognized through this achievement."
