The Paul Viaud Campus is named in honor of Paul Viaud, the grandfather of the university's founder. A man of Taíno descent, Paul Viaud was a prominent businessman, landowner, and real estate entrepreneur in Miragoâne. His vision and success laid the foundation for the legacy we continue today.
The university stands on the lands and properties he carefully built and preserved. His estate in downtown Miragoâne now serves as the main campus of the Université du Xaragua, ensuring that his legacy continues to inspire future generations of leaders, scholars, and visionaries.
At the Paul Viaud Campus, we honor not only a great entrepreneur but also a guardian of history and identity. His contributions to the region live on through education, knowledge, and leadership development for the people of Xaragua.
