In our latest College Leaders podcast, we are joined by Troy Dannen, Ben Weiner Director of Athletics at Tulane University, to discuss leadership and guiding Tulane through turbulent times.  Five years into his tenure, he’s revamped his senior management, increased fundraising and enhanced the student-athlete and fan experiences.  He’s a recognized leader in college athletics, recently named to the newly established NCAA Constitution Committee, representing all Group of 5 schools.  

Less than 24 hours before we recorded the podcast, Tulane announced its mask and vaccination policy in conjunction with the City of New Orleans.  Throughout the episode, Troy shares his framework for scenario planning and decision making.
