Hi ,

As midterms approach, remember there are plenty of campus resources here to support you! Schedule with a Peer Tutor, attend an SI Session, visit the Writing Center, or meet with a Success Coach. Don’t forget to attend faculty office hours for advice, and if needed, schedule a meeting with a College Advisor to review resources and options, including the possibility of withdrawing from a course or changing the grade type to S/U. The deadline for these actions is Friday, October 17.

College Programs | Newcomb-Tulane College

Tulane University is a place where we care for ourselves, each other, and our community out loud.

Throughout September, Wave of Support’s TUgether for Mental Health campaign invites Tulanians to come together to reduce stigma through education, learn new ways to support one another, and build a stronger campus community. This includes starting conversations with our friends, colleagues, and community about the ways mental health shows up in our lives and how we can support one another every day and in times of crisis.

There are 17 events remaining this month–check out a few highlights below!

Join the Office of Academic Excellence & Opportunity and the Carolyn Barber-Pierre Center for Intercultural Life, as well as many campus partners, for commUNITY 2025, a program uplifting our core value of welcoming community. Highlights include student reflections from campus leaders, poet Sunni Patterson, and national advocate Amanda Nguyen, all considering what Welcoming Community means to them. After the program, enjoy food trucks, a mocktail bar, photo booth, dance floor, and campus resource tables, with swag bags for the first 100 guests!
