i taught high school with cooper battle's mother, julia, at fatima, the last year it was a high school. julia lost cooper's father, her husband, just a while back. good people. i'm glad to see the boy do so good.
I pulled it off once while in college...my last semester of Grad School.
I believe Julia has recently finished, or is about to finish, her Graduate work in UL's Geology Dept. I was more or less on my way out when she went back to school, so I didn't know her very well. But, she seemed like a very nice and outgoing person, whom everyone seemed to like, and always came across as a leader. Now knowing that she was a teacher, it makes a lot of sense.
hers was a very interesting story. she was working for mobil, i believe, in the early '80's when she and joe decided that she should try another career. she came to fatima and turned out to be a super teacher. glad to have known her and her late husband. did not know she had returned to school.
UL — The University of Louisiana's new Moody Executive Institute held a breakfast gathering Tuesday to recognize 14 people who completed its two new leadership programs.
One is a course intended for executives reporting to their company’s chief executive officer.
The other is a program aimed at younger people being groomed to take over family businesses, said Christina Harper of The Training Source. Harper served as an instructor in both programs, along with fellow executive coach Phyllis Arceneaux.
Both leadership programs, developed by The Training Source, completed rounds of group sessions and one-on-one coaching earlier this month. The Training Source, a Lafayette-based professional development leadership firm, partnered with UL to create the pilot programs and help launch the institute.
