A Proud Alumna

Greetings, fellow readers,

I am a proud alumna of Tulane University, Class of 2003. I work in higher education, and want to contribute back to my undergraduate alma mater through the collection of heartwarming alumni stories. They each remember their time back at Tulane lovingly. This blog exists to be a compilation of fond Tulane recollections from those that graduated from it. These stories may entail professors that were an inspiration, the classmates that changed your life for the better, the curriculum that inspired you to do what you do now, and the campus activities you felt passionate about. Please email me at: islandgirl.TNL@gmail.com with your amazingly fun stories and/or pictures.

Please remember that they all have to be tied back to Tulane somehow. For instance, a memory going to a Tulane fundraiser or Greek life date party in the French quarter works, but this blog will not include random New Orleans stories that don't have some sort of TU organization/classmate connection. (Sorry).
(Dang, I wanted to be part of this Tulane "T" formation! Jealous! Behind is the Willow dorm I lived in jr. spring semester post study abroad).

The problem is, like many young alumni working in non-profits, social work, etc, I can't afford to contribute financially very much. Although I have attended as many alumni events as I possibly could, ranging from hitting up crawfish boils at South, the alum owned bar in L.A, Thus, this blog is my way of giving back, and I am going to promote it anyway that I can.

(As much as I'd love to be a heavy contributor to student scholarships, rehaul of the library and such, or even have a nice fountain built in one of the lush, grassy, and green quads, this is a small initiative that I hope to go). Go Green Wave!


Our beloved insignia!

I think this will be a rich tapestry of contributors with such Tulane alumni commentary from teachers, doctors, journalists, fashion designers, graphic designers, lawyers, business people, entrepreneurs, former Peace Corps and Americorps participants, and more professions from across the globe that all share one thing in common: their love for their time spent at Tulane!
