Hello Class of 2024,
Welcome to 2021! Welcome back to all of our returning students, and a big ROLL WAVE WELCOME to our new Spring arrivals! We enjoyed meeting each of you all during Spring Orientation and hope you all had a great time with the Wave Leaders. Returning first-years, make sure to give our new students a Wave Hello when you see them around campus and help them make their way around campus.
Since our last chat before you all went off on break and took your exams a LOT has happened around our campus, the country, and the world: the continued discourse around coronavirus and vaccine development; the social and political climate of our nation; the presidential election; etc.
We encourage - no - we implore you all to engage and communicate with each other, your families, your friends, and your teachers how you are processing and are understanding everything. Take time to reflect on your positionality and perspectives and how this past year has altered your lifestyle. Take time to look at the highs and lows, and assess what growth, challenges, successes and discomforts you may have faced and/or overcome.
With that, also make room to take care of yourself. Have fun and do things that bring you joy. Memories are still able to be made; as well as new friendships. Know that there is always someone on campus here to listen to you if you ever need it. Whether it's professionally or just as a confidant - we're here to help you.
Questions? We are here to point you in the right direction. Contact our team by emailing orientation@tulane.edu. You'll also find helpful resources on our website, orientation.tulane.edu. Make sure to follow us on Instagram (@tulanenslp) to get to know our team and learn about resources for new students!
Roll Wave,
Rachel Weber

Future Friends: Find a New Pea for Your Pod
Fill out this quick survey and we will match you with a Future Friend!!! This program is open to all undergraduate students - including remote students. Sign up by Sunday, January 24 to be matched during round one!
Who can participate in Future Friends?
This program is open to all undergraduate students, including remote learners, on-campus students, first-years, sophomores, juniors, and seniors!
What happens after I am matched? That is up to you! We encourage our Future Friends to connect in whichever way is most comfortable for both of you, whether that is over the phone, through text, social media, or Zoom. We will share ideas for ways you and your new friend can connect, but it is up to you to reach out, take time, and say hi. Isn't that going to be super awkward? Yep! Making new friends is always awkward - but you aren't alone in being nervous or apprehensive. Reach out anyway, start a conversation anyway. A beautiful friendship might just be right on the other side. Have questions about Future Friends? Email us at orientation@tulane.edu or visit our website here to read more about this awesome program. |
The Office of New Student & Leadership Programs Presents: The 4th Annual Rising Tide Leadership Summit

This three-day leadership conference is designed for emerging and current student leaders and will feature sessions on a wide variety of topics related to the Tulane University's Leadership Framework. This year's theme is resilience, and we are excited to be able to come together with students from the wider community to explore this important topic.
The Summit will provide Tulane students with the opportunity to learn from the vast expertise of our faculty, staff, alumni, and campus partners, to share their leadership experiences with each other, and to establish a network of support within the university. It's is a great opportunity for organization executive board members and officers to attend to learn more about effective leadership. Please consider attending and encouraging other members to attend as well.

Body Respect Week 2021
Body Respect Week 2021 is almost here! Join Tulane in our initiative to cultivate an environment of respect for everybody as they are. Check out the calendar here! What is Body Respect Week and why is it important? Body Respect Week is January 25-29, 2021 and will bring the Tulane community comprehensive, queer-inclusive, culturally specific, body-positive health events. The language around our bodies and health can be confusing and oftentimes misleading. The goal for this week is to help Tulane students shift their thinking from having to love their body towards respecting their body. We hope that students understand that respect carries reciprocal energy. Your body will honor you when you honor it.
Who is Body Respect Week for? Body Respect Week is for ALL bodies. Body Respect Week is an invitation to be a part of conversations about bodies, one that nourishes and celebrates who we are and who we can become, including every way we show up in the world. We hope that Body Respect Week helps you to think about, how has your body, just as it is, helped you survived in this world? What are some ways your body shows up just for you? What can you do to take better care of your body? What would be possible if you decided your body wasn't the problem? Body Respect Week is an invitation to reclaim the body respect that is your birthright.

Spring Scholars Corner
We hope you had a great time during Spring Orientation! For the remainder of the semester, you can expect these First-Year E-Newsletters, or Navigators, from our office every month to provide you with opportunities from our office or campus partners, incoming deadlines relevant to your student life, and updates from across the university. For these sections of the Navigator, we're dedicating them towards you - our Spring Scholars!
As a final wrap-up for this month, check in with students from your Orientation Group and see if they would like to meet-up over a meal at the Commons. You can even create a study group or attend a Tulane After Dark event together (in-person or virtually). Wave hello to each other as you pass along the way to classes - that includes your Wave Leaders as well.
Take care and ROLL WAVE!
