This month, the University of New Orleans is launching a new initiative to recognize 25 businesses led by alumni. Executive Vice President Errol Laborde and I are both UNO alum, and we are proud to share that Renaissance Publishing is being recognized among the inaugural class.
When I reflect back on my time at UNO I remember my one-on-one-conversations (of which there were many) vividly with Dean John Altazan, the founding dean of the College of Business Administration. It was his mentorship that guided me throughout my college years.
When I was a student, I simultaneously held a full-time job and was starting a family with children on the way. Juggling so many roles was challenging, but Dean Altazan’s commitment helped me attain a bachelor’s of science degree in finance in 1993. I am forever grateful to him for his guidance and to UNO for its overwhelmingly supportive institution and staff.
I am truly humbled to receive this honor and I congratulate the other 24 businesses being recognized.
#UNOForever
