INSTITUTE & SOCIETY NEWS
Welcome Clinton Wilson - Waterways Committee Chair
"I am honored and excited to take on this position. Since LSU is situated along the banks of the Mississippi River, where the navigation channel transitions from shallow draft to deep draft, I am acutely aware of the importance of our waterways to efficiently and sustainably transport commodities that support so many parts of our nation’s economy.
What I am particularly committed to is working with experts from across the country to provide guidance and support to innovate and modernize all of our crucial inland waterways systems."
