Opportunity and Representation

"Opportunity" reflects our commitment to a community that is open, accessible and where everyone is supported and can thrive. Representation is central to all fields at the School of Architecture and Built Environment, and here the term also refers to our commitment to make space for and give voice to every member of our community. Therefore, our Opportunity and Representation initiatives will similarly focus on developing frameworks and pathways to support the future of our school as accessible for all.

Land Acknowledgement

We acknowledge and pay tribute to the original inhabitants of this land - the Choctaw, Houma, Chitimacha, Biloxi, and other Native peoples. The city of New Orleans is a continuation of an indigenous trade hub on the Mississippi River, known for thousands of years as Bulbancha, "the place of other tongues”. Native peoples have lived on this land since time immemorial, and the resilient voices of Native Americans remain an inseparable part of our local culture. With gratitude and honor, we acknowledge the indigenous nations that have lived and continue to thrive here.
