Olivia Dunne graduates from Louisiana State University, shares celebratory snaps in cap and gown
Olivia “Livvy” Dunne is officially a college grad!
The 22-year-old influencer celebrated her graduation from Louisiana State University on Instagram Thursday.
In the first snap, Dunne proudly posed with her diploma outside Tiger Stadium, wearing a purple cap and gown atop a white mini dress.
Dunne ditched her graduation attire for the follow-up photo, throwing her hands in the air as she commemorated the special moment.
The gymnast also included a few shots from the ceremony, showing her walking across the stage and shaking hands with a college administrator.
“Forever LSU🐯,” she captioned the carousel.
Dunne announced she was returning for her fifth and final year of eligibility for the LSU gymnastics team in July — three months after the team won the NCAA championship.
“Dear LSU, these past four years have changed my life,” she said in the video post. “There’s something about putting on a purple and gold leotard. There’s something about competing in front of 13,000 screaming Tiger fans.”
She continued, “There’s something about being pushed by your coaches to be your very best. And there’s something about being a part of a team that made school history. And no matter how many opportunities come my way off the mat, there’s just something about LSU. And that’s why I’m here to say I’m not Dunne yet.”
While it’s unclear exactly what she has in store next, the social media star teased her plans on TikTok.
“Forever LSU…now time for grad school,” she captioned a video.
Although Dunne is seemingly planning to continue her education, she previously told The Post she wanted to teach other female athletes how to navigate NIL — “name, image and likeness” — deals post-grad.
“Girls don’t know where to start,” she explained. “Because that’s sometimes half the battle and it’s very important to capitalize on your NIL while you’re in college if you’re a female, because there’s not a lot of professional leagues after college for most women’s sports.”
“So I definitely want to do something [in NIL] overall, after I’m done at LSU. And hopefully, expand beyond LSU and help educate people and just help girls out,” she added. “I’ve always loved sports. So definitely something in the sports realm.”
Dunne started working on her goal well before graduation, setting up the Livvy Fund at LSU, which is directly targeted toward female student-athletes.
The social media star shot to fame online in 2020 and has since become the NCAA’s highest-paid female athlete — reportedly raking in nearly $10 million since the NIL rules changed in 2021.
