Amid an epidemic of mental health issues among college students and young people nationwide, Tulane is emerging as a leader in confronting this crisis. Wave of Support is a campus-wide, collaborative program that supports students’ mental and emotional health at Tulane. In 2021, Dr. Kathy Fields and Dr. Garry Rayant generously contributed their support, guidance and leadership to Tulane to help conceive and provide a pilot of the program with an initial gift of $750,000. After this successful pilot, Tulane launched the full Wave of Support in August 2022 as a partnership between Newcomb-Tulane College and the Division of Student Affairs.
