Regional Connection and Shared Impact
Adrian College is deeply saddened by the announcement that Lourdes University will be closing at the end of the academic year. As institutions located just 26 miles apart, our campuses have long served students across the same communities and region. While we have met as competitors in athletics, we have also stood alongside one another as fellow mission-driven colleges committed to expanding access to higher education and supporting student success.
Though distinct in identity and tradition, both institutions have played important roles in shaping the educational landscape of our region. Adrian College remains committed to honoring that shared impact by helping Lourdes University students continue their academic journeys and complete their degrees with as little disruption as possible.
