The Lott Leadership Institute has a two-fold mission.
The Lott Leadership Institute was established in 1999 to honor U.S. Senator Trent Lott, a distinguished graduate of the University. The Lott Institute has a two-fold mission. First, it prepares students to assume positions of leadership in an increasingly complex world, and second, it supports policy relevant research through the Public Policy Research Center.
