Provost Mickey Latour joins Tech’s “College Town Talk” podcast
Provost Mickey A. Latour joined Tech’s “College Town Talk” podcast this week for a wide-ranging interview. In our conversation, Dr. Latour tells us why Tech was the right fit after an already successful more than 30-year career in higher education, including at universities in Indiana, Illinois and Arkansas.
He also tells us about a memorable first-day experience that captured the spirit of Tech and the story behind a special keepsake in his office honoring his late mother. Later in the interview, Dr. Latour talks about the book he is reading alongside Tech’s deans and the surprising (and selfless) hobby he picked up many years ago that he continues today.
Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Pandora, Amazon Music and/or the Tech website.
The Provost’s Office has also launched a news page for the latest updates from Dr. Latour and his team.
