Dear Tulane Community,
I have never been prouder to be president of Tulane University – and I hope you share my pride and a sense of achievement for what we have accomplished together. This is an historic moment for the institution. Despite all that we have encountered in recent years, Tulane has emerged with more ambition and momentum than ever. Enormous strides in research, academics, admissions, athletics, fundraising and much more are fueling our extraordinary progress. Research funding has increased by 50% in the last five years. Our admission numbers for the Class of 2026 represent one of the greatest stories in higher education, and the successful Only the Audacious campaign continues to impact every corner of the institution – providing students with financial aid and scholarships, academic resources and life-changing programming while empowering our research and the physical transformation of our campuses. To cap off an already record-breaking year, our student-athletes are succeeding both on and off the field, including an historic berth in the Cotton Bowl.
The future of Tulane is bright indeed, and I can’t wait to see where we go from here.
