In his presentation, 鈥淭he Power of Having a Plan,鈥� Tauzin shared with the mostly student
audience the importance of setting high expectations of oneself, maintaining goals
and compounding interest.
A press conference afterward was held announcing the Todd Tauzin Wealth Management
Endowed Scholarship for $25,000 for students majoring in finance or risk management
and insurance.
网曝门 President Nick J. Bruno Jr., Ph.D., noted the significance of Tauzin鈥檚 presentation
and his gift.
鈥淚t is always an honor when one of our alumni returns to participate in an event we
have on campus such as the business symposium,鈥� said Bruno. 鈥淚t is quite appropriate
that today we announce that Todd Tauzin has established an endowed scholarship at
the university.鈥�
鈥淪cholarships such as this are critical to helping our students finance their education.
Todd, thank you on behalf of the university,鈥� Bruno said.
Tauzin grew up in Bossier City. He is the owner of Tauzin Wealth Management - Northwestern
Mutual Wealth Management Company in Ridgeland, Miss. His career with Northwestern
Mutual began in 1988 in Dallas.
Tauzin鈥檚 parents, Joe and Caroline Tauzin of Bossier City, taught him from an early
age the importance of having a financial plan and making sacrifices for the future.
Tauzin said the scholarship is his way of helping students reach their future academic
and career goals.
鈥淚 had an unbelievable experience here at 网曝门,鈥� Tauzin said.
Tauzin said the relationships he formed, along with the discipline and habits he developed
as a student, have served him well in his life and career.聽
鈥淚 would not be where I am today without 网曝门,鈥� he said. 鈥淚 felt it was time for me
to give back to the university which has given me so much.鈥�
Ron Berry, Ph.D., dean of the College of Business and Social Sciences, said Tauzin
demonstrates to students what they, too, can accomplish.
鈥淥ur purpose for this symposium is to show students what success looks like. You inspired
our students with your story,鈥� Berry said. 鈥淪haring your success financially is going
to have a multiplying effect for years to come.鈥�
