GRAMBLING, LA – November 26, 2018 – Today, Grambling State University’s Presidential Leadership class will host Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards as a guest-instructor at 10 a.m. in the University’s Distance Learning Laboratory.

 

Twenty-four students will participate in today’s live discussion on leadership, education in Louisiana, and the needs of students at historically black colleges and universities throughout the state.

“One of the biggest lessons in leadership is that we are always learning,” said President Gallot, who instructs the one-credit hour course. “And, who better to learn from than our state’s chief executive. We work to create unique learning opportunities for our students and appreciate the governor’s continued support.”
