NEW ORLEANS, LA — Dillard University will host the A.E.A.O.N.M.S. Oliver & Martha Washington NCHI Walk & Health Fair on Saturday, August 16, 2025, from 8:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The event will take place along the campus perimeter and in the area in front of the Student Union, welcoming students, alumni, faculty, staff, and members of the greater New Orleans community to join in a morning dedicated to health, wellness, and connection.
This community-focused event will feature a campus walk promoting physical activity, followed by a health fair offering valuable resources, screenings, and interactive activities designed to encourage healthier lifestyles.
The Walk and Health Fair is part of Dillard University’s ongoing commitment to fostering the well-being of its students, staff, and surrounding community. Beyond exercise and health education, the day will be a celebration of Dillard pride, community engagement, and collective wellness.
“Health and wellness are essential to student success and community vitality,” said Dr. Monique Guillory, President of Dillard University. “Events like this help us connect, move, and thrive together while reinforcing the values that make Dillard a strong and united family.”
The event is free and open to the public. Community members are encouraged to wear comfortable attire, bring water, and come ready to walk, learn, and celebrate wellness.
