💙💛 From the John B. Cade Library, THANK YOU!

To every alumnus, friend, faculty or staff member, student, colleague, and supporter who gave during Give Day 2026, please know how deeply we appreciate your generosity.

Your gift is an investment in far more than a building. It supports the resources, technology, collections, services, spaces, and opportunities our students rely on throughout their Southern University experience.

Every student who walks through our doors has the potential to be impacted by your generosity.

When you invest in the John B. Cade Library, you invest in our students and their success—and ultimately, you invest in the future of Southern University.

And while Give Day may be over, the giving doesn’t have to stop. 💙💛

We are still accepting gifts, and every contribution—at every level—helps us continue our mission.

Continue giving:
