The cover story of the Fall issue of the Tulanian is titled “175 Ways Tulane Has Rocked the World.” The article identifies individuals who have been affiliated with Tulane over this period of time who have made a real difference in their own unique ways. I’m delighted to report that the School of Social Work is noted six times among the 175 listings.  Following are the six entries with a brief update for each.
