Were community members involved in this decision?
Now that the initial due diligence process has been completed and our agreement signed, we are thrilled to be able to expand the conversation. We invite students, faculty, alums, and all members of our community to attend an open forum to provide input as we move forward in this process.
Each of these institutions have important legacies and relationships with the business community and parishes in their respective areas. How will those legacies and relationships change?
We hope and expect that our legacies and relationships will deepen. We know we would not be the institutions we are today without our legacy partnerships over the years. Today, our goal is to respond to the rapidly evolving educational landscape and the imperative to adapt. We believe that as this partnership will make each of our institutions stronger, our legacy partnerships also will benefit.
