Professor Lesmond teaches Pricing & Investments at the graduate level, as well as Corporate Finance and his two favorite classes: Econometrics and Risk Management.
Contributions

Professor Lesmond has given presentations across the globe, including in Australia, Switzerland, France, and the U.K. In Luxembourg, he presented to fund managers from across Europe and Asia - gathered all in one venue - and his was one of only 15-20 papers selected for the most recent convening of Australia's Finance Down Under Conference. Through this work, Professor Lesmond extends Freeman's influence and network in the international community.

Given Professor Lesmond's extensive travel experience, it's no surprise that he brings international issues into the classroom. He finds that his students crave exposure to international firms, and he has had two international papers published - his research dovetails with his students' interests.

Professor Lesmond sees his work as a teacher at the forefront of his role at Tulane - research comes second - and he has received more than 20 teaching honors, including the University at Buffalo's Undergraduate Teacher of the Year Award, Tulane's Wissner Excellence in Teaching Award, and many others.
