Message from the President

Dear UNO Community,

I am thrilled to officially welcome you to the University of New Orleans for another exciting academic year! Whether you're a beginning student hoping to build your new community, a returning student eager to continue your educational journey, a faculty member passionate about inspiring young minds, or a staff member dedicated to supporting our students or keeping the university running, your presence is invaluable to our vibrant campus community. While the summer hopefully provided us all with a bit of rest, I couldn't be more excited to have our students back on campus this week.

As we embark on this new academic year, I am filled with optimism and anticipation for the year ahead. Our university offers a unique blend of academic excellence, supportive programming, diverse perspectives and a strong commitment to our city and region. We are confident that this year will be marked by growth, innovation and unforgettable experiences.

We encourage our students to reconnect with friends, explore new academic interests and get involved in campus activities. Together, we can create a thriving learning environment that fosters intellectual curiosity, personal development and a sense of belonging.

Welcome to the 2024-25 academic year at the University of New Orleans. Let’s make this year our best one yet!

With UNO Pride,

Kathy Johnson, Ph.D.
President
The University of New Orleans
