Move-In Day was just the beginning. Now, the work of a new academic year is officially underway. It was a pleasure welcoming our students, and I’m excited to see all they will accomplish across the Southern University System. Let’s make it a great year!

Last week, I was honored to join colleagues at the SU Board of Supervisors' annual retreat. This provided a great opportunity for us all to engage in meaningful dialouge and reaffirm our commitment to student success and service to #Louisiana and beyond. #WeAreSouthern #HBCU
The SU System joins the people of Louisiana in mourning the passing of Sen. Larry Selders. He was a true champion of our communities and exemplified the positive contributions that our graduates make in this world. We hold his family and loved ones in our thoughts. #WeAreSouthern

Jaguar Nation mourns the loss of a legend. 💙💛
Southern University Athletics remembers Coach Roger Cador — a Hall of Fame coach, championship builder, mentor, and true pillar of Jaguar Nation.
For 33 seasons, Coach Cador transformed Southern Baseball into one of the nation’s premier HBCU programs, capturing 2 HBCU National Championships, 14 SWAC Championships, 11 NCAA Regional appearances, and developing generations of student-athletes.
But his greatest legacy was not measured in wins or trophies — it was measured in the lives he impacted.
A Jaguar forever. A legend forever. 🐆⚾
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Cador family, former players, coaches, and all who were touched by his extraordinary life.
