Former State Representative Rick Gallot has been named the new President of Grambling State University.
Gallot was approved today by the Louisiana System Board. The finalist were Gallot, a Ruston attorney, and the President of Tuskegee University Gilbert Rochon.
Grambling State University has been leaderless since the June resignation of former President Willie Larkin. There have been three leaders in the last two years at the school. Gallot becomes the tenth president of the university.
