Dillard University is the oldest HBCU in the state of Louisiana. While we are proud of our legacy of cultivating generations of leaders who have courageously impacted the world for over 150 years. Dillard's vision is to create living, learning, and serving communities for our students, faculty, staff, and New Orleans. Dillard University attracts the leaders, thinkers, and artists of tomorrow, and equips them with the tools they need to imagine and build a better world for everyone. Our students do not acquire knowledge alone; they develop compassion and high ethical standards alongside it. They think critically, but they do not stop at thinking; they act to turn their dreams into reality. In doing the work they are called to do, they do not choose the easy path over the right path. Instead, their commitment to excellence and integrity makes their work resilient by inspiring others to join their cause.
