Louisiana Tech University School of Banking Graduates First Class

Eighty-two bankers from across Louisiana, Arkansas, and Mississippi attended the second year of the Louisiana Tech University School of Banking, June 5-9, in Ruston. Presented by the College of Business in collaboration with LBA, the week-long professional development program aims to expand the skills and knowledge base of rising bank leaders. Courses taught by over 35 Louisiana Tech faculty members, top banking executives, consultants and regulators covered a variety of topics including operations, risk management, liquidity, marketing, sales and regulations. A strategic focus on fintech, regional economic development and cybersecurity helped attendees hone skills that have become increasingly critical to the banking industry. Forty-four bankers returned for their second year of the School of Banking and were honored during a special graduation ceremony that closed the week.

Congratulations to all the 2023 School of Banking graduates!
