Dean’s Leaders and Lagniappe Lecture Series Presents: Tom Frieden, previous CDC Director

Join our host Dean Thomas LaVeist as he speaks with visiting public health leaders from the US and beyond in Dean's Leadership & Lagniappe Lecture series at the school.  

In November, we welcome Dr. Tom Frieden, former CDC Director and current President and CEO of Resolve to Save Lives, for a talk and book signing for his new book, The Formula for Better Health: How to Save Millions of Lives, Including Your Own.

Dr. Frieden will discuss his new book and engage in a critical discussion on the state of public health and prospective priorities for the future. Following the discussion, Dr. Frieden will be available in the Diboll Gallery for a brief book signing. Books will be available for purchase on site with a credit card, thanks to our partners at the Tulane University Bookstore.
