We invite you to join us next Wednesday, October 1st as we welcome Mitch Landrieu, former Louisiana Lieutenant Governor and New Orleans Mayor, to the School of Government.
He will share insights on leadership in times of crisis, drawing on his experiences rebuilding New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and overseeing nationwide infrastructure renewal at the presidential level. Dean Wall will moderate the Q&A session.
This event is presented by the Chancellor’s office and hosted at SOG. It is free and open to the public, with a livestream option available. Please share with clients, colleagues, students, and others who may be interested.

As the two-term mayor of New Orleans, Landrieu led one of the most ambitious recoveries in American history, guiding the city’s rebound following Hurricane Katrina and the BP oil spill. His administration delivered major infrastructure investments, fiscal reform, and economic growth that positioned New Orleans as a model for post-crisis rebuilding.
Landrieu most recently served as senior advisor to the president and White House infrastructure coordinator, overseeing the implementation of the historic $1.2 trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
He is the founder and president of E Pluribus Unum, an organization focused on strengthening leadership and civic capacity across the American South. Landrieu is also the author of the New York Times bestseller In the Shadow of Statues, which chronicles his experiences in public life and the lessons learned from decades of service.
