MMR recently hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony and open-house event to celebrate the launch of MMR University. Employees toured the brand-new MMR-U Classroom, located at MMR headquarters in Baton Rouge, La., and enjoyed a presentation showcasing fresh, reimagined facets of the education program.

As the program progresses, MMR-U will scale up to provide lifelong skills and leadership development for all employees, leading to long-term growth opportunities for staff, world-class talent across the company and a dynamic culture that primes MMR for future sustained growth.
