Director's Welcome

Welcome to the School of Education

Southern University and A&M College

We prepare educators, leaders, and changemakers who transform classrooms, schools, and communities through excellence, service, and innovation.

Welcome to the School of Education at Southern University and A&M College. As Director, I am honored to welcome you to an institution with a rich legacy of educational excellence spanning more than 140 years. Our story is deeply intertwined with the progress of education in Louisiana and across the nation.

As part of the Southern University System, the nation’s only historically Black 1890 Land-Grant University System, we continue to build on that legacy through innovation, community engagement, and academic excellence. Our commitment to preparing passionate educators and leaders remains steadfast as we support the next generation of professionals who will shape the future of education.

As you explore our programs, know that you are not simply joining a school. You are becoming part of a living history that has influenced education in Louisiana and beyond for generations. From undergraduate preparation to advanced graduate study, the School of Education offers meaningful pathways for those who aspire to teach, lead, research, and innovate.

We invite you to become part of our community and add your chapter to this ongoing story of transformation and achievement. Together, we will continue a proud tradition of preparing educators who serve with purpose, lead with vision, and make a lasting impact.

Welcome to the Southern University family.

Dr. Emily Jackson-Osagie
