On behalf of the Office of New Student & Leadership Programs (also known as Team NSLP), welcome to Tulane and to your first Navigator e-newsletter! The Navigator will arrive in your inbox around the 1st and 15th of each month throughout the summer with information to help you prepare for your arrival to Tulane in August. After you're all moved in and the semester kicks off, we'll keep you informed with monthly emails to let you know what's going on around campus.
  
We encourage you to pay special attention to the "Dates & Deadlines" section of the Navigator. Each issue will highlight what's around the corner so you can stay on track. If you're not yet utilizing our  Class of 2023 Checklist, start today!

Questions? We're here to help. Contact our team by emailing  [email protected] or calling (504) 865.5180. You'll also find helpful resources (that may answer a lot of your questions) by visiting our website,  orientation.tulane.edu.
