Hi ,
We are less than 1 month away from Move-In and New Student Orientation! The entire campus is buzzing with excitement and anticipation as we prepare for your arrival. New Student Orientation is going to be filled with many things to entertain you, to educate you, to challenge you, and to connect you to each other and to the Tulane community. Make sure you are ready to fully immerse yourself into orientation and push yourself to get all that you can out of the experience.
Countdown to New Student Orientation: 17 DAYS!!!
To get ready, check out the Fall 2022 New Student Orientation Schedule – just released! The schedule overviews your day-to-day programming, sessions with your Wave Leaders, and many opportunities for you to get connected with the Tulane community, campus resources, and your class.
Once you arrive on campus, you'll receive a more in-depth schedule to guide you through New Student Orientation and your Wave Leader will be there to help you out. Whenever you do not know where you should go or what you should be doing next, they are your first point-of-contact to guide you in the right direction.

Reading Project Discussion Groups |
|
Newcomb-Tulane College Reading Project
With New Student Orientation quickly approaching, we thought we’d remind you about the Newcomb-Tulane College Reading Project! This common intellectual experience for the entering first-year class engages students and faculty from different backgrounds and academic interests through the reading and discussion of a selected book.
All first-year students are required to read the book over the summer and will participate in a discussion group during New Student Orientation as their first intellectual conversation at Tulane.
Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler is the 2022 selection for the incoming Class of 2026. You can order a copy from the Tulane Bookstore or others. Happy reading!

Equity, Diversity & Inclusion |
To become a truly great university – defined by breakthrough discovery, world-class scholarship and transformative personal growth and enrichment – Tulane must be an equitable, diverse and inclusive community that welcomes and supports a diverse array of students, faculty and staff. We must foster an environment where each member of our academic family, particularly our Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and other underrepresented members, are not only supported but are able to thrive. Over the past several years, we have made great progress together, but we know we must do more. Tulane is committed to the advancement of all members of our community.
The university has a variety of initiatives, resources and support mechanisms – you can explore many of them below.
