Football preseason camps are underway, and 2023 already has a different feel, especially in New Orleans and other hotspots, facing record-setting triple-digit temperatures.

Tulane University health expert Dr. Greg Stewart, the W. Kennon McWilliams Professor of Sports Medicine in Orthopedics, says numerous safety factors must be considered and in place for football players and other athletes to endure the hottest summer on record.

Over the past two years, more than 300,000 U.S. accountants and auditors have left their jobs— a 17% decline – and the dwindling number of college students coming into the field can’t fill the gap.

But according to Christine Smith, a senior professor of practice at Tulane University’s A. B. Freeman School of Business, none of this should be a surprise. Many in academia and the profession have been working on this issue for several years.
