Since our founding as a medical college in 1834, Tulane University has always met challenges head-on, from addressing the yellow fever epidemics of the 19th century to recovering from Hurricane Katrina. Today we are leading the fight against the COVID-19 global pandemic through research, innovation, scholarship and frontline health care. This site contains information about the important work being done and resources to update and aid our community and beyond.

A Message from President Fitts
May 29, 2020
President Mike Fitts released a special message today outlining the university-wide efforts to create a roadmap for returning to on-campus learning, living and working.
Planning for the fall 2020 semester is still in progress and will continue through the summer with feedback from the Tulane community. All return-to-campus plans are contingent on local, state and federal directives and could change based on these.
President Fitts launched "Heroes & Helpers", which recognizes a person or team, among Tulane’s students, faculty, staff and alumni, engaged in extraordinary efforts on behalf of others in the battle against the major health crisis of our time. Please visit the Heroes & Helpers page to see recent winners.
