“For 75 years, Nicholls has educated the people of our region and will continue to help this region flourish for many years to come. We are so proud to celebrate this milestone anniversary with the community over the next year,” said Nicholls President, Jay Clune PhD. 

Nicholls State University announced its 2023 homecoming court ahead of its homecoming week set to take place Oct. 2-7.

Nicholls is the top public regional university in Louisiana according to U.S. News & World Report’s 2024 Best Colleges rankings.

“We are excited to host our first Colonel Athletic Association Golf Classic at LaTour. Proceeds from the event will go towards scholarships for student-athletes, as $3.5 million of Nicholls Athletics annual budget is allocated to scholarships. As the lowest funded school in our conference with a football team, these funds go a long way towards continuing to create a first-class division 1 experience for our 380 student-athletes,” said Hillary Charpentier, director of Colonel Athletic Association.
