Convener: RICHARD A. MARKSBURY, Tulane University
Presenter: YVETTE JONES, Tulane University

      Yvette Jones brings the “test of leadership” to the institutional doorstep. As Chief Operating Officer and Senior VP at Tulane University when Katrina hit, she and the University were called upon to respond quickly and in entirely new ways. However that was not the end. The devastation caused to New Orleans has required a sustained response from Tulane. Jones will discuss those first days following Katrina and the ongoing challenges for Tulane in the post-Katrina era.
