Text Block About Us
<h2>Southern University at New Orleans (SUNO) was founded as a branch unit of Southern University and Agricultural &amp; Mechanical College in Baton Rouge (SUBR) on September 4, 1956.</h2>

<p>On September 21, 1959, SUNO opened its doors on a 17-acre site located in historic Pontchartrain Park, a subdivision of primarily African American single-family residents in eastern New Orleans.</p>

<p>Established as an open community of learners, classes began with 158 freshmen, one building and a motivated faculty of 15. <a href="https://www.suno.edu/" target="_blank">The University</a> offered 10 courses in four academic disciplines: Humanities, Science, Social Science and Commerce.</p>

<h3>Today, SUNO serves as a beacon for those looking for educational advancement in an environment that provides the personal attention students need for success.</h3>

<p>Our mission is to be one of America’s premier institutions of higher learning and to graduate students ready to contribute to the city and nation.</p>
