Hello Class of 2024,
Welcome to September. What a first couple of weeks! Together, we experienced a new Tulane academic experience through virtual and physically-distanced in-person class models. We prepared for, and are now recovering from and assisting our neighbors with, Hurricane Laura and Marco. You all continued to forge new connections with each other: finding new friends, communities of care, and new opportunities for self-enrichment.
All of this achieved while still practicing safe physical and social practices during COVID-19 through wearing masks, social distancing, and regular testing. It is quite remarkable how adaptive and creative the Tulane community can be during stressful and unpredictable times; and we could not be more grateful to consider you a part of our Tulane family.
Questions? We are here to point you in the right direction. Contact our team by emailing [email protected]. 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
