Partner Spotlight: Brandon Winningham from Louisiana State University Shreveport

When Brandon Winningham stepped into the role of Director of Academic Success at Louisiana State University Shreveport, he didn’t just take over student support services. He began reimagining its identity. At LSU Shreveport, where many students juggle various responsibilities, Brandon sees peer tutoring not as an add-on, but as an essential connector—linking students to the community, resources, and sense of purpose that keeps them coming back.

As the Knack Program Administrator at LSUS, Brandon has been instrumental in transforming tutoring from a transactional service to a relational, campus-wide strategy. His vision? A peer-powered support model that feels integral to the college experience and builds the kind of culture that students want to stay part of.
