This Week @ Ourso 

The E. J. Ourso College of Business is pleased to introduce our new faculty members for the 2026-2027 academic year. These additions bring specialized expertise to the college across various fields, including accounting, economics, entrepreneurship and information systems, marketing and management.

We are pleased to announce that associate professor Suzette Caleo will serve as the next chair of the LSU Department of Public Administration. Caleo has served on the LSU faculty since 2012, teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in public management, human resource management, organizational behavior, data analytics and program evaluation.

Like many students who undergo a career pivot, Dr. Amanda Ledet followed a nontraditional path into marketing. With an undergraduate degree in accounting, she spent 10 years working in both public and private accounting before realizing that the part of her work she enjoyed most had very little to do with balancing the books.
