Overview
The Southern University System Foundation has launched a new initiative to plan for the future of Southern University and A&M College and the surrounding community. Southern University is part of the only system of Historically Black College and Universities in the U.S. This comprehensive plan focuses on increasing enrollment and upgrading infrastructure, while expanding the university’s support of the local community. In collaboration with East Baton Rouge Parish officials, Scotlandville community leaders, Southern alumni, students, faculty, administration and community neighbors, efforts are underway to seek out community input that is representative of the diversity of the community.
