In anticipation of the new Presidential Administration and makeup of Congress, Christina Laridaen and Otto Katt will give a presentation for NDSU faculty and staff and answer questions focused on higher education policies that may be considered in the coming years and its impacts on students, research, technology transfer, and workforce development. 

Christina Laridaen [Principal] focuses on agriculture, environment, conservation, and resilience topics, and is well-versed in the research, education, and extension policy within USDA NIFA, ARS, and NRCS. She supports Lewis-Burke clients by providing in depth information about actions in Congress and at federal agencies and strategizing new initiatives and positioning for success.

Otto Katt [Principal and Chair, Talent and Workforce Development Practice] focuses on issues related to workforce and education policy, immigration, economic development, research, and tax policy. He provides strategic guidance on legislative, administrative, and regulatory issues at the Department of Education (ED) and Department of Labor (DOL), in addition to other federal agencies.
