Initiative and can-do spirit of Wave Leaders and Resident Advisors are a highlight of Move-in Days

When first-year and transfer students came to campus last week, they were first greeted by the student leaders who shape our community: a tireless team of Wave Leaders from the Office of New Student and Leadership Programs, and Resident Advisors from Housing and Residence Life, who worked on campus to ensure that the Tulane experience started on the right note.

Their commitment to their peers’ success, especially as they worked outside in the heat — offering support, giving directions, answering questions, carrying heavy loads — is an example of Tulane’s motto in action: “Not for oneself, but for one’s own.”
