Comfort food

To celebrate the return to campus after Hurricane Ida, Tulane University faculty and staff on the uptown campus enjoyed free lunch at The Commons this week. Food and fellowship were on the menu as colleagues reunited on the uptown campus. Downtown staff and Tulane National Primate Research Center staff also were treated to free lunch on their respective campuses. Photos by Paula Burch-Celentano.
