CACTUS: Community Action Council of Tulane University Students
Outreach Tulane
Hosted by CACTUS, Outreach Tulane is a campus-wide day of service. It is the oldest and largest community service event at Tulane with approximately 1,000 students participating in a wide variety of service projects throughout New Orleans.
Outreach Tulane provides an important opportunity for students to venture out of the Tulane community and into the larger New Orleans community, of which they are an integral part. Though all are welcome at Outreach, it’s also a great opportunity for students new to campus to get to know other Tulanians, especially because it occurs at the beginning of the year.
Outreach Tulane will take place on August 27th, 2022 from 8:00AM-2:00PM. Check-in/on-site registration begins at 7:00AM. Online registration will open in August during the first week of classes.
Stay tuned on Instagram @outreach_tulane for recent updates and more information!

All digital materials and keys will be delivered directly to Canvas, the online learning management system. Eligible undergraduate students will receive an email with instructions a month before class starts. Students will have the opportunity to opt-out of automated ordering, without being charged, between Aug. 1, 2022 and Sept. 2, 2022.

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.
