More than 200 Student Affairs staff members are here to support you through your academic journey at Tulane. We hope you take time between classes, student meetings, events and homework to experience the natural beauty of Audubon Park, the architecture of the Garden District, the musical performances on the sidewalks and all of the other magical aspects of New Orleans. Be safe, be well, take care of yourself and one another, make a difference for someone, and Roll Wave. Welcome home!

Dr. Dusty Porter Vice President of Student Affairs Tulane University Our Work Starts With You.

NEWWELCOME,TULANE STUDENTS!

Lee Skinner Dean, Newcomb-Tulane College Tulane University Undergraduate Students, “All of us at Newcomb-Tulane College are ready to help you get started on your journey. We can’t wait to see where you’ll go.”

Dear New

Welcome to Newcomb-Tulane College, your academic home for the next four years. As the undergraduate degree granting body of Tulane University, we provide a comprehensive, flexible education that gives you the freedom to explore our curriculum, develop your critical thinking skills, and cultivate a spirit of intellectual inquiry. Whatever major you choose, you’re always a NewcombTulane College student and we’re here to provide resources and guide you along the way.

The most important thing you can do to get connected with the Tulane community during your first semester is reach out—talk to your classmates; connect with your faculty by attending office hours; meet with your academic advisor and a career counselor to plan a course of study that allows you to learn new ways of understanding the world—and of changing it for the better.

The college oversees a challenging, rewarding academic experience for all undergraduates. Throughout your first year, NTC’s First-Year Experience Office will oversee your academic journey as you build meaningful connections with your peers and faculty. During your time at Tulane, you may earn a research grant from our Office of Academic Enrichment, go to a workshop with the Center for Academic Equity, attend an alumni panel hosted by Career Services, or even spend a semester abroad thanks to the Office of Study Abroad—all NTC resources.

Tulane University was founded in 1834 in a response to health challenges in southern region of the United States. The training of advanced graduate degree recipients is foundational to Tulane’s identity. Each year new graduate and professional students enter our community at the same rates as our new undergraduates. Whether your graduate/professional tenure is one year or several, please know that you are an important part of the Tulane community. The university is stronger because of graduate education.

Thank you for accepting Tulane University’s offer to work towards your advanced degree. In a time where you have many choices, we are glad that you chose to study at Tulane. The past academic years were like no others; yet you chose Tulane to continue your professional journey. For that choice, we are thankful and look forward to working with you on the next phase of life. Life as a graduate or professional student brings new excitement and new opportunities. We are excited to return to “new normal” for graduate education by the fact that we will be returning to a mostly in-person community. We are simultaneously presented with new opportunities to learn, grown, and develop. Graduate education is the core of Tulane’s legacy, as it is the foundation on which the university was founded.

At Tulane, graduate education is decentralized. Each academic school is working on best practices to support you. We have expanded to be a top place to not only study health-related fields, but we are leaders in arts, social sciences, basic and applied sciences, professional arenas, and many more areas. Our graduate programs are highly ranked and well sought after.

Dear New Graduate and Professional

Welcome to Tulane University and, for many, to New Orleans. There is no other place where you can get an internationally respected graduate degree in a world class city. You have come to work with world class faculty, dedicated staff members, extraordinary administrators, and exceptionally hardworking students. Good luck as you begin a new journey!

“ You have joined a group of Tulanians who are pacesetters, and I look forward to learning about how your innovations during graduate studies will add to these rich legacies.”

Michael Cunningham, Ph.D Professor of Psychology and Africana Studies at Tulane Suzanne and Stephen Weiss Presidential Fellow Associate Provost for Graduate Studies and Research Students,

Tulane Values At Tulane we are strengthening our core – the shared values, both current and aspirational, that embody our university, support our mission, drive our decisions and inspire us to do more and be more. These values were developed from surveys and focus groups made up of students, faculty and staff throughout our university. They are described and illustrated on the pages below through words, photos and real-life stories. More importantly, they are put into practice on a daily basis by the members of the Tulane community for the benefit of the global neighborhood we serve. Leading for a Better Tomorrow With confidence, courage and humility, Tulanians help lead the way to a better future. We aim to advance society by boldly confronting global challenges and unleashing the opportunities and promises of tomorrow. This is part of our collective DNA, as reflected in our mission statement: “to create, communicate, and conserve knowledge in order to enrich the capacity of individuals, organizations, and communities to think, to learn, and to act and lead with integrity and wisdom.”

Knowledge for Good In our pursuit of knowledge for the greater good, we prioritize scholarship and research, discovery and a commitment to creating a more sustainable future for all. From our founding purpose of confronting yellow fever and other 19th century infectious diseases to addressing modern-day health threats such as COVID-19, environmental challenges and other global problems, Tulane has long been a hub of meaningful exploration and discovery. We teach our students to love knowledge both for its own sake and for the sake of using that knowledge to tackle the most pressing issues of our time. Unconventional Innovation With ingenuity and a growth mindset, we bring together bold and creative scholars, scientists and students who are committed to crossing, combining and redefining the boundaries that have separated fields and thwarted true innovation. Through our unique educational and research vision, we employ unconventional innovation and outsized ambition to create uncommon results.

Inclusive Community We strive to make Tulane a more supportive home through equity, diversity, compassion, respect and opportunity. We know we must be open-hearted and willing to learn from past mistakes as we build a better tomorrow. This will require taking active steps to reduce inequities experienced by members of our community who are underrepresented and underserved. We have a shared destiny, common humanity and a better future that we can only reach by working together.

Collaborative Engagement Tulane is rooted in the idea that looking outward leads to impactful, real-world solutions that make a difference in the lives of others. Our contributions to society are evident in the lives we transform and the problems we solve. We are driven by knowing all the good we can accomplish with integrity, freedom of expression, partnership and engagement with our community, our region and our world.

Inspiring Excellence We are purpose-driven and intentional in everything we do – from our groundbreaking research to teaching to public service. Our distinctive attitude, grit and passion inspire our commitment to excellence. As we continue to grow and prepare the next generation of leaders, we task ourselves to seek more, do more and be more.

WELCOMEHOME

In New Orleans, we celebrate life and do not take it for granted. Along with warm sunlight and heady breezes, expect rainy days. New Orleans has known its share of hurricanes, pandemics, wars, man-made disasters, civil and social injustice, and loss. Tragedy is an unexpected expectation, yet New Orleanians find a way to not only survive, but flourish. We draw hope from our communities. Through each other’s support and compassion, we find new avenues to come back stronger. We take lessons learned and remember what was lost. The city still heals from scars from decades of injustice only deepened by floods and trauma, yet there is still a refusal to surrender. During your time at Tulane, ask yourself, how will you be a part of New Orleans and carry this hope? How can you better support your neighbors and newfound friends? It can be as simple as asking, “How can I listen and be of service? How can I impact my surroundings, for my future and theirs?”

Falling in love with your new home

8 Welcome Home HISTORY & CULTURE Rather than a melting pot, New Orleans is a palatable gumbo, served and shared around a table where everyone is welcome. To best describe a gumbo, one can imagine a stew featuring various meats, vegetables, and spices, where all the flavors are in conversation with one another over rice. One ingredient is never featured too heavily nor overpowers the meal entirely; rather, each accentuates the next to further heighten the taste. Much like a gumbo, New Orleans takes everything offered and makes something beautiful where there was once nothing.

Originally known as “Bulbancha,” a Choctaw word meaning “the place of many tongues,” New Orleans finds its roots in indigenous tribes such as the Chitimacha Tribe of Louisiana, the Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana, the Jena Band of Choctaw Indians, and the Tunica-Biloxi Indian Tribe, whose land we stand upon and live within. From these roots grow stories of strength, celebration, hardship, hope, and love. The shape of the city, the languages we speak, the art that paints the city with bright colors and vivacious sounds, and the meals we share all trace histories to communities who found their home in the Big Easy: Indigenous, African, European, Latin American, Asian, Caribbean, and Creole. So, take your seat at the table and come hungry for all that New Orleans has to offer. We’ll make room!

HOPE & RESILIENCE

NEW ORLEANS 101

SHOTGUN Usually part of a “double”—a single row house in which all rooms on one side are connected by a long single hallway— you can open the front door and shoot a gun straight through the back door, without hitting a single wall. The kitchen is situated in the rear to allow hot air and smoke to pass through without going through the rest of the house.

DRESSED Sandwiches served with lettuce, tomatoes and mayonnaise: “the works.”

PARISHES & WARDS Louisiana is comprised of 64 parishes (not counties); New Orleans is comprised of 17 wards (not districts). Tulane is located in Orleans Parish, in the 14th Ward.

NEUTRAL GROUND Known elsewhere as a median, this is the grassy area between the paved areas on a boulevard. Named for the original Canal Street division between the American and Creole communities. KREWE A Krewe is a social organization that puts on a parade or ball during Carnival season. Through all the glitter and beads, krewes also feel like community. Whether you parade or not, there is a krewe for everyone.

TCHOUPITOULAS /CHOP AH TOO LAS/ Also known as Tchoup (“chop”), this road runs Uptown along the river. CALLIOPE /CAL EE OPE/ This street name rhymes with rope. If you ask for “Cal-lie-o-pea,” nobody will understand what street you’re looking for!

SNO BALLS You may have had snow cones before, but in New Orleans our sno balls are made of finely shaved ice and delicious cane syrup, making it the perfect summer treat. Figuring out your favorite sno ball flavor is essential. Luckily, there are sno ball stands within walking distance of campus!

LAGNIAPPE /LAN YAP/ Something extra. A bonus or a gift.

BIG EASY “The Big Easy” became the official nickname for New Orleans after a contest was run in the late 1960s. Historically, New Orleans has weathered difficult conditions, yellow fever, hurricanes, floods, wars, and just plain hard living. Being a survivor was something to celebrate. In addition, New Orleans is noted for an eclectic mix of cultures that have held onto their traditions and languages. If it’s fun, tastes good, and sounds right, then we’re all for it!

PRALINE /PRAW’ LEEN/ Brown sugar pecan-filled candy patty. Very sweet and so delicious you can’t eat just one!

There are two sides of the Mississippi River, but due to its winding path to the Gulf of Mexico, it can be confusing to understand which side is which. Tulane, within the Greater New Orleans area, is located on the East Bank of the river. The West Bank is located on the western bank of the Mississippi, but on the east side of the city. The sun always rises on the West Bank.

CHECK IT OUT! “ New Orleans is a city that I feel accepted and welcome. Here, you can find yourself and where you want to be in the future. My favorite festival in New Orleans is Jazz Fest – this festival shows culture of the city and what this city is about. There is something for everyone here. Indrakshi Tiwari ’24

AUDUBON PARK Whether you like to roller skate, jog, or read a book in the shade, Audubon Park is the perfect place to spend the afternoon.

DOWNTOWNUPTOWNINTERACTIVEMAP

FINDING YOUR WAY

CLAIBORNE On the northern end of the Uptown campus, you will follow this road to get on I-10, head to Elmwood, or go downtown. Be careful when trying to cross this six-lane speedway.

FRERET Running through the middle of campus, Freret separates the academic quad (A-Quad) from the more residential part of campus. Along Freret you will find the Rohr Chabad Jewish Student Center, the Navy ROTC building, and many restaurants and coffee shops.

POYDRAS The southern boundary of downtown campus, everything can be found between here and Canal.

CANAL ST. This is not only an iconic street in New Orleans, but is also the northern boundary of the downtown campus. You can find here the New Orleans BioInnovation Center, the University Medical Center, the Tidewater Building and the streetcar line.

12 Welcome Home

For the first few weeks on campus, you might struggle to find your way around. Between the three Richardson buildings, two Woldenbergs, and the confusion that is the A-quad, it’s totally normal to feel a bit lost. Luckily, the campus Interactive Map is here to help get you back on track. Just go to admission.tulane.edu/map and you’ll be on your way in no time. (You might want to bookmark this one.)

McALISTER This is the main pedestrian walkway that runs between the LBC and the business school, up to Freret. Here you will find student organizations tabling and will inevitably run into friends.

BROADWAY

WILLOW Running perpendicular to Broadway, Willow is known for the PJ’s Coffee near Décou-Labat Residences and is a common spot for ride-share pick ups. Between Willow and Claiborne you will find many athletic facilities, including the Reily Student Recreation Center, Brown Field, Yulman Stadium, Turchin Stadium, and more.

On the western end of the Uptown campus behind Newcomb Hall, Broadway is home to the Goldie and Morris Mintz Center for Jewish Life, Tulane Hillel, and many fraternity and sorority houses.

ST. CHARLES To the south of the academic quad, St. Charles separates the uptown campus from Audubon Park. Head here to visit Gibson Hall, catch the streetcar, or take a stroll down the avenue to see beautiful old homes.

TULANE AVE. Stroll along this street and you’ll find the Tulane Medical Center, the JBJ Health & Environmental Research Building, and much more.

OrleansRueOrleans

The Richardson building is located in the middle of the academic quad and is home to the Center for Intercultural Life and the Center for Academic Equity. The Richardson Memorial building is also on the academic quad and is home to the School of Architecture. The Caroline Richardson building is located next to the Student Health Center, across from Warren Residence Hall. It is practically inevitable that you will go to the wrong building at some point—bond with your classmates over the collective confusion.

FINDINGYOURPEOPLE

24 Finding Your People GETTING INVOLVED

There are tons of ways to get involved at Tulane, but the best way is your way. You can dive in immediately by signing up for clubs that interest you at the Fall Activities Expo, go it slow by reaching out to a few choice organizations on studentorgs.tulane.edu, connect with academics by reaching out to professors to learn about potential research opportunities, or focus on social organizations like Greek Life or affinity groups. Choose your own adventure. It might not look like your roommate’s or friend’s, but it will be yours. And remember: involvement is a journey. You don’t have to do forever what you do first. Check out some tips from current Tulane students on getting involved.

5 THINGS TO KNOW about getting involved Your peers are here to help. Ask your Wave Leader, Resident Advisor, Peer Mentor, and friends for advice. It takes time to find your fit. Keep exploring new clubs and opportunities throughout your time on campus. Experiment and explore. Sometimes the best things are found in the most unexpected places. Just show up! You don’t have to be president of an organization to be a campus leader. The best way is YOUR way. There is no right way to get involved. Follow your heart and chart your own path.

A WORD OF ADVICE

I recommend taking advantage of all the opportunities that student organizations offer in the fall to get involved on campus and in the greater New Orleans community. These are great ways to meet new people who share common interests and expand your horizons. Elizabeth Romantz ’23

Go to the Student Activities Expo in the beginning of each semester so you can see all the clubs and sign up for anything that interests you. You’ll get emails about their events and then you can pick and choose your clubs later on. But only stick to, like, 3-4 after a trial period, otherwise you’ll be overwhelmed.

Sustainability matters to Tulanians. We get only one planet, and we have to treat it kindly. That’s why offices like Dining Services and the Office of Sustainability work every day to reduce our emissions, source foods, and materials thoughtfully, promote recycling, and more. The Tulane Climate Action Plan is working toward carbon neutrality by 2050—check out some of things that help us get there.

REUSABLE BAGS & BOTTLES

Thanks to student advocacy, all Tulane University dining and bookstore locations charge $0.15 for single-use bags, encouraging consideration of how daily actions impact our environmental footprint. Bring your own reusable bag or opt not to use a bag when you can. Revenue collected from this charge goes toward university sustainability initiatives. As you move around campus, you will find many filtered water bottle filling stations. Carry a reusable bottle and enjoy unlimited filtered water from hands-free water bottle filling stations.

Uptown and downtown campuses recycle the following materials: aluminum cans, plastic bottles #1 and #2, paper, and cardboard. Whether you are in a residence hall, dining area, or academic building, recycling bins are nearby.

RECYCLING & WASTE REDUCTION

Dining Services works closely with local produce distributors to maximize the fruits and vegetables purchased from local farms. 90% of the resident dining food is created from scratch and made in-house. Fresh produce served across campus comes directly from local farmers in Louisiana and Mississippi.

Through the Undergraduate Student Government Sustainability Committee, various student organizations focused on environmental activism and other projects, students are actively working to improve sustainability on campus.

All seafood served across campus is sustainably sourced with a focus on supporting seasonal Louisiana seafood. All deli meats served in the Dining Room at the Commons, are hormone, gluten and antibiotic-free. Dining Services only uses Louisiana Legacy Beef, which is locally sourced in Louisiana and utilizes only local dairy farms who do not use any rBST, recombinant bovine somatotropin, a type of artificial growth hormone that increases milk production. Tulane Dining is also pivoting toward more plant-based options, with a vegan or vegetarian dish offered at every station in the Commons.

OUR MISSION

ADVOCACY Advocacy is central to our mission and we work with students individually and collectively to address issues of bias, discrimination, and marginalization at all levels of the university. We also build and maintain partnerships with various campus departments to advocate with all students.

The entire campus community must work to build and sustain an environment that was designed for the success of all students. This work begins with understanding social justice, racial justice, and liberation. We offer spaces to learn common language and terminology, engage in intergroup dialogue, and explore resources that include the work of subject matter experts who create theory and best practices through lived experience as well as research.

Food is one of the many ways people come together, share their culture, and build community. Get a taste of NOLA’s global cuisine and learn about food from local vendors. We serve diverse cuisine from a variety of local entrepreneurs. One week you may try something you may have never tasted. The next you may see your favorite comfort food on the menu!

The Office of Multicultural Affairs works to employ critical race theory, student development theories, and a social justice framework. We use a trauma-informed lens infused with radical love to counter the effects of oppression and empower students to thrive. In order to achieve our vision we value trust, care, quality, equity, and authenticity. OMA models being an environment where students, faculty, staff and alumni can collaborate to co-create and sustain an engaged and equitable learning community.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

SOCIAL JUSTICE EDUCATION

We believe that building and sustaining community is a central part of the college experience for all students. For students who have been historically marginalized, it was finding community that helped them persist, graduate, and become part of an active community of engaged alumni.

CULTURAL IDENTITY DEVELOPMENT

We believe that the labor of leadership should not rest on the efforts of a few students, but a larger collective of horizontal leaders with common goals. Our aspiration for all students to develop as strong leaders is rooted in building coalitions, resisting internalized oppression, and working collectively for sustainable change in our society.

WEDNESDAYS with The O

Our worldviews are shaped by our lived experiences and cultural connections. Many students have been socialized by their own families and communities and an aspect of that socialization is cultural. Our office seeks to affirm the cultural identity development of students to help them stay grounded and empower them to thrive holistically.

ADVICE FROM A GREEK AMBASSADOR

“Greek life is an amazing, unique, and rewarding experience that you should take advantage of at Tulane. Every chapter is a mix of different and special personalities who will welcome you with open arms. One of the most special parts of the Greek community is that you share an underlying passion for your chapter, council, and philanthropy. Going through the recruitment/intake process, stay open-minded and true to yourself. Things will always work out the way they are supposed to. Take advantage of the opportunities that your chapter, Panhellenic, IFC, MGC, NPHC, and the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Programs provide for you—there are endless ways to get involved with things you are passionate about, execute your own ideas, gain leadership experience, and meet new friends.”

Transferring to Tulane University was the best decision I have ever made. From the second I stepped on this beautiful campus I felt at home. I am incredibly grateful for my Waveleaders, professors, friends, and sorority sisters for helping me establish a true sense of belonging. Tulane provides so many activities to join clubs, groups, and organizations to help everyone find their people, and for me, this was joining a sorority and becoming a Tulane Jewish Leader.

Before arriving at Tulane, I worked fulltime in law firms specializing in complex civil litigation as well as a part-time meteorologist. Most of my time outside the classroom is spent with students interested in law school and careers involving law.

Even though we live 1,500 miles from campus, Tulane’s parent communication model makes us feel so connected to life on campus. The Tulane experience is our son’s experience, but the Tulane Parent connection, through newsletters and webinars, makes us feel a little more like extended family. We’re all in this together!

Laura Jacobs, parent of a ’25 student “ The parent newsletters have been so helpful to us as new parents, from information on move in/out to academic opportunities to parent events on and off campus. We really feel connected.

FINDINGYOURPLACE

For new and returning students, living in an on-campus residence hall can be a great way to connect with fellow first-years and even upperclassmen. Try to get to know your RAs, who have lived and learned on campus for at least a year and can tell you about their academic pathways and extracurriculars as well as give great advice on how to find your people at Tulane. Attending events in your residence hall is a great way to connect with upperclassmen RAs, faculty mentors, and fellow residents! Your roommates might usually be your first friends on campus, but remember that your roommate doesn’t always have to be your best friend as long as you get along well in the shared space. The best way to meet new people is to attend events that interest you, since they will probably attract people with similar interests to you, too. And don’t forget—everyone adjusts and grows differently, so try not to compare your experience to the people around you!

NEED HELP PACKING?

Umbrella, rainboots & a rain coat It rains a lot here. A lightweight jacket Classrooms can be cold. A heavy coat It does get cold outside at least once a semester. Things that make you happy! Practicality is great, but don’t forget all those little things that make you smile. Are there items you can purchase once you move in (like laundry detergent) that you don’t need to pack? Before buying shared items for your space, have you talked with your roommates? Don’t forget that you’ll have to move out at the end of the year—are you committed to your new fish for life? Refrigerators, mattresses, microwaves These are provided. Any item with an open flame or heating element Candles, toasters, hot plates, etc. are not allowed.

CHECKOUT THE 360 ROOM TOURS

PREPARE FOR YOUR BIG MOVE

TO BRING WHAT TO CONSIDER WHAT

WHAT NOT TO BRING

The Housing and Residence Life website has 360 room tours and room information for each building on campus. Take a look at those to get a sense of the space you will have. Not all rooms are identical, but the information on the HRL website is really useful for planning out what decorations you may want to bring.

Whether you’re moving across the country or just across Carrollton Ave., getting organized ahead of time will save you a ton of stress on move-in day. We’ve all been there—sweating from nerves and move-in is basically a rite of passage. In addition to making sure you pack all the essentials, take time to review the Move-In Guide at housing.tulane.edu and read every email from housing@tulane.edu!

COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR ROOMMATES

If you’re sharing space, communicate with your roommates about the room ahead of time so you don’t end up with two giant TVs, three coffee makers, and a handful of rugs that are too big and don’t match. Tons of people wait until move-in day to look at the room and decide what decor they need. Roommate information will be in your housing assignment email. If you decide to buy something together, agree on what you’ll do if one of you ends up moving out of the room.

Please read your email from Mail Services carefully. If your mail has been delivered to a locker in the LBC, it is on the Garden Level. Find the correct locker bank and use your Splash Card to get your package. If you’re lost or can’t find the right spot, stop at any of the offices on the Garden Level and ask for help.

What makes a space feel like home? The small things help for sure, like the cozy blanket you’ve had for years, the photos of your friends you printed, or a full bookshelf your favorite novels. But the best way to turn a room into a reprieve is to be surrounded by a great community. It won’t appear overnight and it won’t be effortless, but making friends on your floor and in your building will make Tulane feel a bit more like home.

Tulane has such a variety of academic opportunities with classes from all five schools available for students.

1 THE STUDENTS So many of the students at Tulane are inspiring and are tailoring their interests to ways they can help make the world a better place, and they don’t shy away from difficult conversations when they can lead to empathy and growth between people.

STUDYING: Public Health, Gender & Sexuality Studies, and Sociology

BEAUTIFUL CAMPUS Tulane’s campus is gorgeous and green almost all year round, and there are only a few short weeks of chilly weather. Most of the school year, there are breezy mornings and warmer days, which makes the perfect weather for taking walks in Audubon Park or studying outside on campus!

5 MY PROFESSORS As Tulane students, we are fortunate to have access to some of the most interesting, accomplished professors. My favorite part of classes are the connections I can make with professors who help me learn about topics I otherwise would never have encountered!

6 MY ADVISOR

The academic advising center has wonderful and helpful people who are eager to help students pursue and achieve their future goals. They are always willing to help you explore various major/minor possibilities and do their best to make your interests possible! (Shoutout to my awesome advisor, Aloysius Cunningham!)

I have met so many of my best friends here through classes, student organizations, or work, etc., and it is such a joy to hear about what they are studying and spend time with them to recharge outside of classes and other responsibilities.

One of the reasons I came to Tulane was because of the public health program and all the amazing resources it provides. All of the public health professors are passionate about what they teach, and they provide insight about their experiences. I love the variety of topics you can explore through public health as well!

PERSPECTIVES ON OFF-CAMPUS HOUSING

54 Finding Your Place Advice for getting set up Visit housing.tulane.edu/off-campus-housing for more resources. OFF-CAMPUS LIVING

Advice for living in harmony with roommates

Do lots of research, and don’t settle on the first place you find. Keep your options open. Make sure you stay on top of bills and maintain your space. Read your entire lease and tour your house virtually or in-person before signing anything. Be transparent with your landlord and stay on their good side. Prioritize safety. Don’t walk home late at night by yourself and stay alert. Get a bike for the days you are running late.

Be clear and don’t be afraid to be up front and honest. Remember to give each other space, and communicate often. Set realistic expectations; you may not be best friends, and that’s okay. Set boundaries; don’t feel like you must do everything with your roommate. You already live with each other so having your own space and time is important for keeping a healthy living arrangement.

ASK ABOUT UTILITIES

This isn’t very important for 11 months out of the year, but during the month around Mardi Gras, living on the parade route can be either a big perk or a big annoyance. If you feel strongly in either direction, look up the Mardi Gras parade routes before you sign your lease!

ASK ABOUT MAIL & PACKAGES

NEW ORLEANS THINGS TO THINK ABOUT DOES MY STREET FLOOD REGULARLY?

Many buildings have a process for packages to ensure they are not stolen, but some do not! Ask your landlord about whether it is safe to have packages shipped to your building. Do you need to tell delivery drivers to throw it over a fence? Do you need to rely on a P.O. box? Find out what has worked for past tenants before your meal prep kit is taken from your porch!

Even if you have a car, public transportation is a great asset. Having a bus or streetcar line within walking distance can be a huge plus. IS MY APARTMENT ON THE PARADE ROUTE?

TALKING TO LANDLORDS READ THIS!!!

CONSIDER RENTER’S INSURANCE

In New Orleans, water, electricity, and trash are all separate services. Wifi may or may not be included. Make sure to ask your landlord about those expenses. Are you responsible for one or all of them?

During heavy rainfall, many streets in New Orleans flood. Whether they flood a little (over the curb) or a lot (to your front door) is important to know before deciding on a place to live. Ask your landlord or potential neighbors about flooding.

WILL I HAVE SOMEWHERE TO PARK?

Off-street parking is relatively rare in New Orleans. If you are in a high-traffic area, it may be more difficult to find a parking spot in front of your apartment. If your street is likely to flood in case of heavy rain, be extra thoughtful about your parking situation. IS MY APARTMENT NEAR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION?

ASK ABOUT SECURITY When looking at an apartment, take time to think about security. Is your front door on the street or set back? Do you have a deadbolt or just a regular lock? Are your windows secure or easily opened? If you have a gate, would it be easy to jump? If you have a back door, is it just as secure as the front door? Who else has access to your building? Have there been burglaries in the past? Is there already an alarm system, or could you add one? Make an informed decision about whether you will feel safe in your new home—and if you’re not sure, consult with a friend or family member.

Newcomb Art Museum’s events and programs—both live and virtual—bring together unique exchanges among scholars, artists, advocates and community leaders to explore pressing topics of our region and time, across disciplines, and are free to all Tulanians and the entire New Orleans community. Students are invited to use Newcomb’s exhibitions and programs as immersive, engaging tools for learning by contacting the museum’s interpretation coordinator to schedule tours and lessons.

Newcomb Art Museum

Founded in 1996, Newcomb Art Museum located in the Woldenberg Art Center honors the legacy of Newcomb College and celebrates the college’s vision for education, social enterprise, and artistic experience. Today, the museum—the only art museum in New Orleans with free admission for all—presents contemporary art exhibitions and interdisciplinary programs that highlight the contributions of women to art and design, as well as feature work of artists from underrepresented communities and artists of color while deploying the faculty expertise of Tulane to explore themes relevant to New Orleans, Louisiana, America and the current era.

In addition to its original exhibitions and programs, the museum preserves and advances scholarship on Newcomb Pottery through pop-up exhibitions, free access to its digital collection, monthly tours of the onsite collection, and presenting new research through free catalogues. Students interested in learning more about the museum’s collection through private tours and access for scholarly research are encouraged to reach out to the museum’s collections manager for more information. More than a museum, Newcomb has become a cultural cornerstone for artistic and social conversation and a place of fellowship among Tulane students and the people of New Orleans.Visit newcombartmuseum.tulane.edu to find information and past collections.

The museum’s inspiring exhibitions—such as 2022’s Laura Anderson Barbata: Transcommunality, 2020’s Bmike Odums: NOT Supposed 2-BE Here, and 2019’s award-winning Per(Sister): Incarcerated Women of Louisiana—engage communities both on and off campus, fostering the creative exchange of ideas and cross-disciplinary collaborations around innovative art, design, and issues of social change. For the Fall 2022 semester, Newcomb Art Museum will present To Survive on This Shore, which features photographs and interviews with transgender and gender nonconforming older adults, created by Jess Dugan and Vanessa Fabbre. This exhibit will be complemented by selected works from our permanent collection and works by local artists focused on resiliency. Together, the exhibitions aim to address the need for a more compassionate and empathetic society, and how visibility and representation is part of that process.

While walking around campus, you will see blue lights and police officers walking or riding bikes and TRIKKEs. There are over 80 blue lights all over campus, and they operate as emergency phones, connecting you directly to TUPD. One of the many TUPD officers around will be there to help as soon as possible. So when walking, especially at night, it’s smart to stay near blue lights.

With so much art, culture, food, music, and so many festivals constantly going on in New Orleans and on campus, it’s easy to get caught up in the fun and forget some simple safety precautions. Tulane has many resources, from TUPD to TEMS to The Well, and so much more, that are designed to keep you safe. We urge you to take advantage of these resources. When you’re off campus, or there aren’t Tulane personnel around, make sure to look out for your Krewe!

While on campus, it’s important to be aware of your surroundings. Avoid looking down at your phone while you walk across campus, and look both ways when you cross the street, as many of Tulane’s crosswalks are busy roads. Many students choose to listen to music or a podcast when walking; if you’re going to do so, try wearing one headphone or listen at a low volume so you can still hear your surroundings. Take care of your personal belongings like your phone, wallet, keys, and laptop, and have them on you at all times.

While many new residence halls have automatic locking doors, it is still important to make sure your door is locked, or in the case of the automatic doors, completely shut. To be safe, always lock your door, make sure the door is completely shut, and make sure you have your key with you when you leave the room so you do not get locked out.

The next few years will be some of the most exciting, adventurous, challenging, and defining ones of your life. You have chosen to study at one of the best research universities in the world and the demands on you will be great. With that said, the next few years is not the time to put your faith on hold or, if you don’t hold to a faith tradition, to stop exploring how faith could play a major role in your life. Below are numerous faith organizations that you can get involved in at Tulane. Each has been active at Tulane for several years, if not decades. Our goal is that you will explore several groups to see what each has to offer and make plans to visit them when you get to campus. You can contact each organization you’re interested in individually or you can fill out a Google form with your interest(s) and they can contact you. We look forward to journeying with you!

ACTUALLYATTEND Syllabus Week may be notorious for short classes, but you should actually go. Make a good impression and set yourself up for a positive semester. It will also help you figure out if you need to drop or add a few classes.

A great way to make friends and make A’s is to form a study group early on. Always carry an extra pen to lend to someone next to you. Sit next to someone who is sitting alone and make a new friend. Embrace your inner extrovert during the first week and it will pay off.

first day of class vibes

GEAR Pack an umbrella in case it rains, a water bottle to stay hydrated, an extra shirt in case it’s so hot outside you sweat through the first one, a sweatshirt in case the classroom is cold, and a pen. Don’t worry about printing the syllabus, it will most likely be provided to you on the first day.

DOUBLECHECK Look at your class schedule online in the morning. Sometimes class locations may change at the last min ute. You can also click on the building codes to make sure you head to the right place. Don’t be afraid to ask people for directions on your way to class.

FUN FACTS Get ready to introduce yourself with your name, pronouns, and a fun fact. Prepare your fun facts in advance and have multiple, just in case you need them. You may also want to think about why you chose Tulane, what your Hogwarts house is, and other common ice breaker questions.75

Let’s face it: college is hard. Unfortunately, it is inevitable that you will hit a rough patch (or two… or three…) during your undergrad years. And that’s okay! In fact, it’s necessary. Getting your first failing grade on an exam stinks, but it can teach you the importance of preparation and a good study technique. Not finding your BFFs immediately can make you feel lonely, but you could meet folks next week who you instantly connect with. Everyone, absolutely everyone, has rough patches, and they can make us stronger, better, wiser people in the end. Everyone feels lonely, everyone gets a bad grade. However, it is important to distinguish between a struggle and a red flag. If you are treated disrespectfully, discriminated against, or physically/mentally hurt by another person, that is a red flag. Red flags are not okay. Whereas struggles are obstacles to be fought through, red flags are intolerable, and they should be reported immediately. Every Tulane student deserves a safe and equitable experience, and if someone attempts to violate that experience, they need to be held accountable.

Supplemental Instruction (SI) is an internationally recognized academic support program and has been proven to increase student success for those who engage in the learning process. At Tulane, students see the best GPA outcomes when they attend five or more SI sessions.

BE GRACIOUS BUT CLEAR. Good manners are always important, but don’t be afraid to advocate for yourself. If you don’t understand something, say so. If you need something repeated, say so.

Take your time, and don’t feel rushed. Explain back what you covered. “Thank you. So, for next time, I need to review the homework, come to the study sessions, and take a practice test.”

If you don’t know what to do during office hours, or if you’re nervous about talking to your professor or another academic staff member, follow the BASTE method: Still feeling unsure? Check out our top five tips (psst, these work with tutors, TAs, and SIs, too!):

If you’re someone who struggles with asking for help, you are not alone. It can be intimidating and make us feel even more vulnerable. Those feelings are valid and understandable. However, that shouldn’t stop you from asking for help when you need it. College courses are very different from high school classes. They are more rigorous and intense, and you may not have a strong personal connection to your instructor. Luckily, there are plenty of resources for you. Talk to your professor during office hours. Go to a Supplemental Instructor (SI) session or tutoring appointment at the ALTC. Form a study group with your classmates. Find the best fit for you. Asking for help is not a show of weakness or inadequacy, but an act of selfcare and a sign of maturity.

ACADEMIC SUPPORT

BE BRAVE! The first time going to a professor’s office hours can be scary, but it gets easier. Eventually, you may have to fight the urge to drop by for a simple chat! Our advice is to rip off the Band-Aid and go at least once. It gets easier after that.

CELEBRATE SUCCESSES! Take time to acknowledge your successes, even if they’re small. Do you better understand something? Celebrate! Do you have a study plan for the next exam? Celebrate! That way, you’ll feel accomplished, and this feeling will incentivize you to keep going to office hours in the future. ACADEMIC ADVISING Mussafer advising.tulane.eduadvising@tulane.edu504-865-5798Hall

MAKE A PLAN. Think of what you want to accomplish beforehand. Do you want to review an exam? Do you want to answer homework questions, and if so, which ones? This will help you budget your time better.

OF INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS AND SCHOLARS

Announce your intention. “I’d like to speak to you about the last quiz.”

BE CONSISTENT. If you’re really struggling in class, go to office hours frequently. Meeting with your professors often can really turn your grades around, plus they can see that you’re committed to improving.

Breathe! Professors are people just like us, and they are quite literally there to help you.

Don’t forget to get involved on campus; learning outside the classroom is just as important as in! Plus, it is a great way to make friends and acclimate to the Tulane/New Orleans community.

In our college daydreams, success looks like getting A’s on all our assignments, working in a lab or having an awesome internship, leading a cool student organization, hanging out with our close group of friends, and having the best time of our lives. But almost no one’s life looks anything like that. Everyone struggles academically (even when we were so used to being the smartest kid in class), applies for many more jobs and opportunities than they receive (even when we prepare so well and want it so much), and has a hard time finding true friends (even when we have always had plenty of friends and it has never been this hard before). We all have to work hard to build the life we want, and we need help along the way. Your Success Coach can help you identify and work toward your goals. You can schedule an appointment with a success coach at any point in the semester, and at any point in your academic career. Coaching supports all types of learning and processing styles to figure out what success looks like for you. Want to chat with a current student who has been there before and can relate? Connect with a Peer Success Leader (PSL). Whether it is navigating the academic and social challenges of college or pursuing leadership and involvement opportunities on campus, PSLs can collaborate with you to build a strong foundation and success plan for your time at Tulane.

In the beginning of the semester, write out all of your assignments from your classes to help you stay on top of things.

It’s okay if you don’t get to know all your professors personally, but try to find one to talk to! I became close with my collo qium professor just by visiting her office hours every other week.

SEX WEEK

Body Respect Week brings the Tulane community comprehensive, queer-inclusive, culturally specific, bodypositive 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. Body respect is all about coming back to our default states, without the pressure of shame or negativity. It takes an unlearning of what society has tried to tell us matters about our bodies and becoming at peace with the fact that your body is just one small piece of who you are. We hope that students understand that respect carries reciprocal energy. Your body will honor you when you honor it.

The Center for Intercultural Life and The Well have partnered to host weekly massages as a way to promote self-care in the Tulane community.
