Before they crossed the stage, they heard the words that mattered most. 💛🦁 We asked our Southeastern graduates to read heartfelt letters from their parents for the very first time, reflecting on the journey, sacrifices, growth and pride that led to this moment. Congratulations to the Southeastern Class of 2026! 🎓 #Spring2026 #OurSoutheastern #LionUp

What an incredible couple of days with Dr. Harris Pastides and Patricia Moore-Pastides! From packed lectures on the future of higher education to deep dives into public health, research, and global engagement, their time with our campus community was full of inspiration. A huge thank you to the Pastides for sharing their wisdom, energy, and leadership with our students, faculty, and staff!

To mark the 25th anniversary of 9/11, Southeastern invites students, faculty, staff and community members to come together in remembrance and service. Participants can honor the 343 New York City firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice by climbing 110 stories at the University Center or by giving back through campus service projects, including Roomie’s Pride Pantry and the Sustainability Garden. Whether you climb, volunteer or come to show your support, your presence helps honor those we lost through unity, service and remembrance. Together, we remember. Together, we serve.
