2021-2022 Academic Year-in-Review highlights successes, traditions

The 2021-2022 academic year saw the return of many beloved Tulane traditions, in spite of the lingering pandemic. Tulane held two in-person commencements — one for the Class of 2020 and one for the Class of 2022 — and introduced new traditions like the New Orleans Book Festival and our inaugural Research, Scholarship and Artistic Achievement Awards. The latest Academic Year-in-Review highlights all of these memories so the Tulane community can look back and celebrate our successes.
