HAMMOND – Two representatives of Southeastern Louisiana University have been
selected for the University of Louisiana System Management and Leadership Institute.
Elizabeth Hornsby, assistant professor and graduate coordinator in the Department
of Communication and Media Studies and Director of University Housing Chris Asprion
will take part in the two-semester program for faculty and staff who aspire to broaden
academic, professional or administrative leadership roles.
Hornsby began working at Southeastern in 2006. She has over 10 years of experience
in digital media strategy, and her teaching and research explore intersections of
communication, culture, media, and technology from a critical perspective. She is
an International Radio and Television Society 2020 Fellow and is a member of several
industry associations, including The Digital Analytics Association, Promax, the Television
Academy and Paley Center for Media.
Asprion began his career at Southeastern in 2005 as project coordinator in the
Physical Plant. He worked his up to associate director of Facility Maintenance, where
he managed housing maintenance, including supervision of shop foremen directly, 10
tradesmen indirectly and 29 resident buildings. He currently serves as director of
University Housing, where he is responsible for the administration and supervision
of all facilities, operations, personnel management, budgets, conferences, and residence
life programs.
The Universities of Louisiana Management and Leadership Institute launched in
2017. The nine-month institute immerses participants in rigorous programming designed
to gain a deeper understanding for effective leadership in higher education. Throughout
the two semesters, members visit each of the nine universities and ultimately produce
a group project that addresses some of the challenges of higher education.
