Tulane School of Architecture alum Ron Carrere (MSRED '24) was elected as Board Chairman of the Urban League of Louisiana. Working with his fellow board members, Carrere helps guide the organization in fulfilling its mission and serving communities across Louisiana.

Since 1938, the Urban League has served Greater New Orleans with a mission to assist underserved communities in securing economic self-reliance, parity, power, and civil rights. That mission expanded statewide in 2016, and focuses on programs to ensure quality education and access to information, employment, entrepreneurial and economic inclusion opportunities, and shared dignity under the law.

"I am honored to serve on the board of the Urban League of Louisiana alongside an incredible group of individuals committed to advancing the organization’s mission," said Carrere. "My time at Tulane University was instrumental in my growth, preparing me for this responsibility and inspiring me to accept an opportunity to serve as a member of President Verret’s Cabinet at Xavier University of Louisiana."

Carrere also reflected on Tulane’s lasting influence on his professional and personal journey. "Even before attending Tulane, I deeply appreciated the generosity and support Tulane University extended to the Amistad Research Center," he shared. "I fondly remember a special evening on campus for the Conversations in Color speaker series when President Fitts bestowed the title of honorary Tulane alumna upon Mrs. Sybil Haydel Morial. That heartfelt act of leadership left a lasting impression on me. I remain grateful for President Fitts’ example of authentic leadership and strive to reflect those same values in my own service."

The Tulane School of Architecture celebrates Carrere’s achievement and looks forward to seeing the impact of his leadership in the years ahead.
