Dr. Larissa Littleton Steib has been a leader at Delgado Community College for more than twenty years—with several years away to serve as Chancellor of Baton Rouge Community College. Since returning to Delgado as Chancellor in 2019, Dr. Steib is working to build and enhance relationships with regional business, industry, and government organizations. She is making certain that the curriculum at Delgado, on both the academic and workforce development sides of the college, is aligned properly with regional economic development and workforce needs. Partnerships expanding under Dr. Steib’s leadership include top regional employers such as Ochsner Health, LCMC Health, Chevron, DXC Technology, Amazon, and Hilton Hotels.
