Hello Spring Scholars,

We are excited to welcome you to campus in just eight short weeks! As you make this transition, we know you may have some questions about what's next. These Spring Scholar Navigator e-newsletters will be monthly collections of reminders, opportunities, and advice as you start your journey of making Tulane feel like home. 

Joining a new community can be just as nerve-racking as it is exciting, and New Student & Leadership Programs is here to support you through the highs and lows of your first semester on campus. Through Spring Orientation and beyond, we have your back! Reach out to Team NSLP by email ([email protected]) or by phone (504-865-5180) with any questions or concerns. We would love to hear from you, and we can't wait to meet you in January!

Roll Wave!
