The spring 2023 issue of Silver & Blue magazine is headed to your mailbox and locations around the University of New Orleans campus. Catch up on happenings and relive memorable moments featured in 52-pages of stories and pictures about the University’s local and global impact via its students, alumni and faculty.

Our cover story features the University’s first-ever comprehensive campaign, Next Is Now, which is aimed at making a quality UNO education accessible to even more students and enhancing the teaching and research activities on campus. As you turn the pages, you will read and see how support for UNO is an investment manifested in a community of creatives, change agents, influencers and visionaries.

You also will see multiple examples of just how far a UNO degree can take you while reading feature stories about New Orleans Saints athletic trainer Kevin Mangum, Denver artist Chloé Duplessis, Chicago pediatric infectious disease physician Dr. Tina Tan, and Gulf Coast Athletic Conference commissioner Kiki Baker Barnes.

Meanwhile, on campus, from faculty research that drives K-12 curriculum and steers the spending of billions in coastal protection dollars to campus carnival and Swampball to alumni with new jobs, awards and more, Silver & Blue is filled with news about the determined Privateer Nation.
