"To be a LSU New Orleans professor encompasses two sets of ideas. First, it means I get to interact with students ... every time I walk into a classroom, they teach me something! Second, I have the ability to focus on learning new things to bring into my lectures through my research ... Engaging in the research alerts me to new trends in business and enhances my teaching skills."
