As a new Tulane student, your voice counts!
During Hullabaloo Hello, you will join the long-standing tradition of Tulanians’ participation in The First-Year Survey, a national survey that gathers information about incoming college students. This is the first of many ways we will ask for your input as a Tulane student. We ask that you regard this, and any future questionnaires, as an opportunity to contribute important insight on your experiences and how Tulane can best meet your needs. Faculty and staff truly do utilize any information you include to adapt and modify our campus. We thank you in advance for your participation in the First-Year Survey!
