Welcome back, students! The spring is an exciting time to be in New Orleans. We will catch up on everyone's breaks--talk about Third Coast and the importance of carnival: we will look at various carnival routes, themes, and discuss the history of this important cultural phenomenon and how it relates to space.

We will also discuss our plans for this semester and the great events that we have lined up!

Dinner will be included for students who RSVP.

*Please note that the welcome back has been suspended to January 23, since the university closed due to inclement weather on Jan. 17.
