Parents as Partners

Welcome to the Office of Parent Programs. Part of the Department of Orientation and Student Transitions, Parent Programs support your needs as a Tulane parent or family member. In addition to parent information sessions at New Student Orientation in June, we organize parent events during the first weekend of Welcome Week in August and during Parent/Family Weekend at Homecoming in October. We will keep you well-informed through a variety of different communication mechanisms ranging from information sessions and receptions on campus to periodic e-newsletters and web-based presentations over the summer.

For those of you who are new to Tulane University, we invite you to utilize our Pelican Partners, a group of experienced Tulane parents who volunteer to answer your questions via e-mail. These parents are eager to assist you in your role as a parent of a new Tulane student. In addition, the Office of Parent Programs also supports the Tulane Parent-Family Society. All parents of Tulane students are automatically members of this organization. Visit the society page to find out how you can get involved.

If you have any questions, please phone us toll free at 877–TUP–WAVE (877-887-9283) or e-mail parents@tulane.edu.
