Dillard University is reinforcing each of the elements of our mission as a historically Black institution that cultivates leaders who live ethically, think and communicate precisely and act courageously to make the world a better place.

Activation Plan
Below is an overview of some campus activities:
- In President Ford’s 2024 Welcome Back Message, she emphasized the importance of creating a “Brave Space” on campus instead of a “safe space.”
- Dillard has re-established its National Center for Black Jewish Relations (which focuses on the intersectionality of identities and people over politics), enhanced its community-facing Racial Justice Center, and launched a Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion cross-campus initiative.
- The University is providing additional professional development to help faculty and staff have courageous conversations.
