NSLP Student Staff Feature: Tips from the BOD Squad
Senior Student Staff for the Office of New Student & Leadership Programs

The New Student & Leadership Programs' Board of Directors (also known as the "BOD Squad") is comprised of 8 upperclassmen who help NSLP staff to plan and implement your transition to Tulane! As experienced and successful student leaders, they've compiled these tips to help you succeed. 
  • Call your family once a week. They miss you! 
  • Trust us - it's okay if you don't go to that one party that one day. Do you! 
  • Don't be afraid to utilize mental health resources like CAPS for Counseling Services. Most students are living away from home for the first time, are in a much larger community than they are used to, and struggle with their transition to college. It's normal for your mental health to take a hit with so much going on and there is no shame in reaching out for help when you need it! 
  • If you ever get bored of Bruff, check out the Orleans Room at Loyola! We have access to it through our meal plan and their dessert bar is amazing. 
  • Broaden your horizons, spread your wings, and try to see and do something new every week (try a new restaurant, attend a new organization's event, grab coffee with a new person, etc.) This will help you see all that Nola has to offer!
