I'm writing to those of you freshmen who religiously follow my blog (yeah, right ;p) and are excited about coming to Tulane to visit in the coming months. This year, I will be directly involved that process.
As the President of the Science and Engineering Honor Society, I have a lot of responsibility over something entitled Honors Weekend. We help the Admissions Office sort out our incoming geniuses and throw a big party for you guys with nachos, snow cones, and inflatable fun. This year, we are giving out t shirts and possibly pins as well.
The Science and Engineering Honor Society has one major task in the coming years-- to help give the School of Science and Engineering a new identity. So basically everything we do, we're trying to do it BIG. For example, our t shirts (design shown above) are brightly colored and easily identified, we're planning on hosting a speaker next fall, and we work closely with the Dean's Office to make sure current and incoming students know what we (as representatives of the School of Science and Engineering administration) can do.
Whether or not you're an honors student, the coming months have tons of fun in store here at Tulane. The Admissions Office and plenty of other campus bodies, including student organizations, work really hard to make sure you guys have a good time. And for those of you that are emailing me with questions, keep those emails coming to me and the other bloggers. We truly are happy to welcome you guys.
So the purpose of this post is really to encourage my incoming freshmen readers to take advantage of any opportunities you have to visit Tulane. As a senior at Friendswood High School, I certainly remember the awe Tulane's ivy-covered Gibson Hall inspired when I first set foot on this campus. I was overwhelmed with the lush greenery, the friendly students, and how excited everyone seemed, even President Cowen, who was the only actual university president I met when visiting colleges. Four years later, I still remember that feeling.
In New Orleans, we have a saying, "Let the good times roll." If you visit Tulane this spring, you will certainly see how much we believe that!
Welcome, guys! We're excited to meet you!
