University of Louisiana at Lafayette 125th Anniversary

Since 1898, our University has provided service, vision and leadership to Louisiana and to its people.

Those words – Service. Vision. Leadership. Louisiana. – have retained immense meaning for us for 125 years. They are at the core of the work we have done and that we will continue to do, and that’s why we chose them as the theme for our year-long birthday observance.

Preparing students for lives of purpose and success is an act of service.

Anticipating challenges and harnessing the power of our brightest minds to answer them helps us envision a better future.

Bringing people together for a common cause is a hallmark of leadership.

And we do all these things – and more – for the good of Louisiana, the place we’re proud to call home.

We want you to be a part of our anniversary celebrations, and this website offers you an opportunity to do just that. As alumni, friends, employees, students – each of you has played a role in the University’s growth and success over the past 125 years. And together, we can lay a foundation to ensure the next 125 are just as extraordinary.

Happy birthday, University of Louisiana at Lafayette
