Thank You for Another Successful Academic Year

President Michael A. Fitts speaks at the 2026 Unified Commencement ceremony

As the 2025–26 academic year comes to a close, Tulane University thanks our neighbors for their continued partnership throughout the year. From move-in to commencement to campus events and community initiatives, we appreciate the collaboration that helps strengthen the relationship between the university and the surrounding neighborhoods. We wish everyone a safe and enjoyable summer and look forward to continuing our work together. 

Louisiana Promise Program Delivers for Tulane Graduates 

At Tulane University’s 2026 Unified Commencement Ceremony, 35 students graduated as members of the second Louisiana Promise-supported cohort. Launched in 2020, the program expands access to a Tulane education for Louisiana students from families with limited financial resources. The milestone reflects Tulane’s broader commitment to strengthening opportunity and long-term economic growth across the state. 

Tulane Students Design Low-Cost Mobility Device 

Tulane University students designed a low-cost mobility device to help people living with foot drop, a condition that affects walking and balance. The project brought together engineering, design and health sciences students to create a more affordable and accessible alternative to traditional assistive devices. The effort highlights how Tulane students apply research and innovation to address worldwide health challenges with practical community impact. 

Reily Center Memberships Available for Neighbors 

Neighborhood residents can take advantage of membership opportunities at Tulane University’s Reily Student Recreation Center, located on the uptown campus. The facility includes fitness equipment, an indoor pool, tennis courts, group exercise classes and wellness programming, along with access to outdoor recreation spaces.

Community memberships are available for $100 per month, while Tulane alumni receive a discounted rate of $85 per month. Additional household memberships are available for $50 per month for community members and $40 per month for alumni members. More information about memberships, pricing and amenities can be found on the Tulane Campus Recreation website.

Online Concern Report Form

Tulane has a centralized online report form for complaints and concerns, which is the primary, and preferred, method for submitting any report of concern about a student's behavior, including but not limited to conduct that may violate the Code of Student Conduct.

This system allows for efficient routing of concerns to the appropriate office, as well as tracking follow-through on those concerns. Neighbors are welcome to file complaints or concerns using the online system and should select "Neighborhood Relations Concern" under the "Type of Concern."
