Olivia Dunne is officially a college graduate as the gymnast and social media sensation shared photos in her cap and gown on Thursday.
The 22-year-old donned LSU colors and walked across the stage to receive her diploma during the school's winter commencement.
In her latest Instagram post, Dunne, wearing a white dress under her gown, held her diploma in front of Tiger Stadium on campus. She also posted snaps of herself walking toward and off stage.
At the end of the post, she is seen throwing hand gestures with gymnastics teammate and fellow graduate Alyona Shchennikova in what appears to be a parking lot.
'Forever LSU,' Dunne captioned the carousel with a tiger emoji.
Dunne also posted a selfie with her cap on, writing 'Officially an LSU grad,' on her Instagram story.
While recruited for her athletic prowess, Dunne majored in interdisciplinary studies with a focus on leadership, sociology, and communications.

Despite graduating, Dunne will return to LSU in the spring for her fifth season with the Tigers
Although Dunne has completed her academic duties, she will return to campus for her fifth and final season with the gymnastics team in the spring.
Dunne returned to LSU's grounds after announcing she would exercise her fifth year of NCAA eligibility with the Tigers in July.
Her final campaign follows their NCAA title-winning efforts at the end of her senior year. The 2023-24 team brought the university's first national title in gymnastics to Baton Rouge after a dominant regular season.
On July 8, Dunne declared her return with a video announcement on her social media pages.
Dunne's first four years at LSU saw her add achievements such as the 2023 SEC Academic Honor Roll, 2022 SEC Academic Honor Roll, 2021 WCGA All-American, 2021 WCGA All-American, and 2021 First-Year SEC Academic Honor Roll to her resume.
The social media star holds a career-high score of 9.925 in bars, which she achieved in 2021 against Auburn and 2022 against Centenary. She also holds a 9.90 personal record on the floor, which she secured against Alabama in 2022.
Dunne and the Tigers gymnastics team open their season on January 3 against Iowa State in Baton Rouge.
