    2021-2022 1 THE UNIVERSITY Mission Statement Tulane’s purpose is 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. Tulane pursues this mission by cultivating an environment that focuses on learning and the generation of new knowledge; by expecting and rewarding teaching and research of extraordinarily high quality and impact; and by fostering community-building initiatives as well as scientific, cultural and social understanding that integrate with and strengthen learning and research. This mission is pursued in the context of the unique qualities of our location in New Orleans and our continual aspiration to be a truly distinctive international university. History Tulane University, one of the foremost independent national research universities in the country, is ranked among the top quartile of the nation’s most highly selective universities. With ten schools and colleges that range from the liberal arts and sciences through a full spectrum of professional schools, Tulane gives its students a breadth of choice equaled by few other independent universities in the country. Tulane University’s ten academic divisions enroll approximately 8,000 undergraduates and about 5,000 graduate and professional students. The schools of Architecture, Business, Liberal Arts, Public Health and Tropical Medicine, and Science and Engineering offer both undergraduate and graduate programs. Other divisions include the schools of Law, Medicine, Social Work and Professional Advancement. Tulane traces it origins back to the founding of the Medical College of Louisiana, the Deep South’s first medical school, in 1834.

  • UPTOWN CAMPUS LARGE GROUP WALKING TOUR Hello, and Welcome to Tulane University! This Is an Abridged Tour Script Written Specifically for Large Groups Visiting Campus
    UPTOWN CAMPUS LARGE GROUP WALKING TOUR Hello, and welcome to Tulane University! This is an abridged tour script written specifically for large groups visiting campus. Please begin your tour at Gibson Hall (#1), the location of the Office of Undergraduate Admission. This tour will end at the Lavin-Bernick Center for University Life, or LBC (#29). Throughout your tour, you’ll find building names followed by numbers which correspond to those on our campus map. Enjoy your visit! History and Makeup of Tulane University Tulane was founded in 1834 as the Medical College of Louisiana in an effort to address the recent epidemics of Yellow Fever. In 1884, New Jersey merchant Paul Tulane donated over $1 million to endow a university “for the promotion and encouragement of intellectual, moral and industrial education.” He had made his fortune in New Orleans, and his gift expressed his appreciation for the city. Paul Tulane’s donation established the Tulane Educational Fund, which today has grown to more than $1 billion. Subsequently, the Medical College of Louisiana changed its name to the Tulane University of Louisiana. Tulane University is now comprised of 10 schools, most of which are on the Uptown Campus, with the exception of the School of Medicine, the School of Public Health & Tropical Medicine, and the School of Social Work, which are located downtown at Tulane’s original campus in the New Orleans BioDistrict. Tulane undergraduates – while all members of Newcomb-Tulane Undergraduate College – study across 5 schools: Architecture, Business, Liberal Arts, Public Health, and Science & Engineering. As you walk through campus, you’ll find a mix of both old and new buildings.

    Architecture Program Report Tulane University New Orleans September 21, 2007 Scott Bernhard, Interim Dean 1 DESCRIPTION and HISTORY of TULANE UNIVERSITY Tulane University School of Architecture APR 2 1. 1. DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY OF TULANE UNIVERSITY Tulane University of Louisiana Tulane University, one of the foremost independent national universities in the South, is ranked among the top quartile of the nation's most highly selective universities. With nine schools and colleges that range from the liberal arts and sciences through a full spectrum of professional schools, Tulane gives its 10,500 students a breadth of choice equaled by only six other independent universities in the country. Tulane University's nine academic divisions enroll approximately 5,500 undergraduates and about 4,800 graduate and professional students. The Schools of Architecture, Business, Liberal Arts, Science and Engineering offer both undergraduate and graduate programs. Other divisions include the Schools of Law, Medicine, Public Health and Tropical Medicine, Social Work, and Continuing Studies. All divisions except the medical complex, which includes a teaching hospital and clinic, are located on Tulane's 110-acre campus in uptown New Orleans. The University's origins trace back to the founding of the Medical College of Louisiana, the Deep South's first medical school, in 1834. Classes started the next year when 11 students and 7 faculty members met in a rented hall; students paid for instruction by the lecture. Born of the desperate need for competent medical care in this region and of the founders' dedication to study and treat "the peculiar diseases which prevail in this part of the Union," the college quickly earned recognition.

  • Coming Home to Celebrate Tulane"S "Pivotal Moment"
    Tulane University Coming Home to Celebrate Tulane"s "Pivotal Moment" October 01, 2008 1:15 AM Carol J. Schlueter [email protected] Homecoming it's usually a high point of the fall football season, when alumni return to reconnect with friends and cheer on the Green Wave. But this year's celebration goes well beyond the expected events. President Scott Cowen calls this a “pivotal moment” to celebrate the spectacular success of the largest fund-raising campaign in the university's 174-year history. During homecoming, Tulane is celebrating the successful conclusion of “Promise and Distinction: The Campaign for Tulane,” which brought in $730.6 million in gifts from alumni and friends. (Photos by Paula Burch-Celentano) Cowen will take the stage in the Kendall Cram Lecture Hall on Friday (Oct. 3) at 10:30 a.m. to lead a town hall meeting and discuss the campuswide impact of “Promise and Distinction: The Campaign for Tulane,” which raised $730.6 million. Of course, the weekend also will include the Tulane football game against Army on Saturday (Oct. 4) at 2 p.m., outdoors at City Park's Tad Gormley Stadium. And alumni from around the country will gather on the uptown campus on Friday for a reunion party at the LBC's Qatar Ballroom, followed by fireworks and a free concert on the quad by New Orleans-own Funky Meters. Much of the support for the “Promise and Distinction” campaign came from Tulane alumni, according to former Board of Tulane chair Cathy Pierson, who, along with husband Hunter, chaired the campaign.
