EVENTS GALORE!
The spring semester at Tulane is off to a strong start. We have already experienced our first evening lecture by JEANNE GANG FAIA. We have also enjoyed two lectures by students, Scott Burroughs and Ali Popper, who presented their research as part of their summer traveling fellowships. We have two more of these student lectures and many other exciting events lined up for the spring.
ALUMNI RECEPTIONS
We really hope that alumni will turn out for these events, as you did so enthusiastically during our five such events in the fall (DC, Savannah, Atlanta, New York, Boston). We have our first of the semester THIS WEEK!
I want to thank all of the alumni who have generously offered to host these events. These wouldn’t happen without the financial support and enthusiasm that our alumni hosts bring to these gatherings. It was a real pleasure to meet so many of you during my first semester at TSA, and I am excited about the next several months ahead.
