Later that day, Letlow highlighted her engagement with higher education leaders in Washington D.C., stating, “I always look forward to meeting with fellow educators in DC. Loved chatting with @Tulane University President Mike Fitts about supporting higher education and setting students up for success!” The tweet referenced her discussion with Tulane University’s president on advancing support for students.
On July 25, 2025, Letlow announced legislative progress related to Louisiana State University (LSU). She posted, “The House passed a bill I cosponsored and strongly supported to give Louisiana State University its own zip code. It’s time for a unique campus zip code so we can ensure efficient services for the growing community at @LSU!”
