On Wednesday, Dillard University had the pleasure of hosting "A Different Kind of Good: A Conversation on Life, Purpose & Protecting Your Peace", featuring Meagan Good and Cornell Young IV!

This conversation served as a pre-homecoming event for our upcoming "A Dillard World" experience, focusing on the importance of prioritizing your well-being, embracing personal growth, and nurturing your mind, body, and spirit.

Thank you to Meagan Good and Cornell Young IV for taking the time to share your insight with our Dillard University students! 💙🤍

Dillard University has always served as a hub for insightful events and discussions for our community. This past Thursday, in partnership with the Dillard University Center for Racial Justice, we hosted "Exonerated Voices," a moderated discussion with several exonerated men who were wrongfully convicted. Their stories and testimonies of resilience resonated with the audience. We would like to thank these brave and courageous men for sharing their testimonies and experiences with the Dillard University community.

This month, Dillard University stands in solidarity with survivors, honors those we have lost, and recognizes the strength of those continuing their journeys.

Awareness is more than wearing a ribbon—it’s about education, prevention, early detection, support and creating spaces where individuals feel safe to speak up and seek help.

Let’s use this month to check in on one another, share trusted resources, encourage regular health screenings, and remind those experiencing domestic violence that they are not alone.

Together, we can raise awareness, amplify hope and help build a community rooted in compassion, courage and care.
