Ever Wonder Who Runs This Place?

Ever wondered who runs this place anyways? It’s not our admission staff. It’s actually a team of super dedicated student interns. More specifically, if you’re wondering where all this great content for our social media channels comes from, its from my team of seven student social media interns. They are the brains behind our Twitter feeds, blogs, Instagram, YouTube channel, and drive all the content behind the marvel that is TruTU.

I thought it might be cool for you all to get a chance to meet my dedicated team of social media interns. Here goes!

Brady Johnson doesn't actually wear glasses.

Brady Johnson
Originally from Orange County, California, Brady Johnson is an involved Tulane senior that now calls NOLA home. While formally studying Neuroscience, Brady is passionately developing tech solutions to improve healthcare delivery while driving down costs. For Tulane's Office of Undergraduate Admission, Brady leads tours around campus, answers emails and phone calls at the front desk, posts blogs and YouTube videos, moderates the Official Class of 2017 Facebook group, and manages the back-end of TruTU. In his free time, Brady likes to plan for his journey around the world after graduation.

TulaneOwen is so popular that he has
his own Mardi Gras krewe.

Owen Knight

Owen Knight (better known to the world as Tulane Owen) is from Bethesda, MD, and graduated from Walt Whitman High School (crosstown rival of my high school, B-CC, go Barons). He is currently a senior studying Marketing and Management in the A.B. Freeman School of Business. Outside of class, Owen is on the executive board for Green Wave Ambassadors, our campus tour guides. Owen’s also involved in Greek life, is on the Interfraternity Council executive board, and is a member of Phi Gamma Delta. He love football, listening to music, and marathoning shows on Netflix. Owen maintains a blog, tweets from @TulaneOwen, and runs the OnlyAtTulane Instagram account. Most famously, Owen also moderates the Official Class of 2017 Facebook group which is why he’s so popular on campus.

Sarah Swig
Sarah Swig is from San Francisco and is a senior majoring in Political Science and International Development with a minor in Spanish. She studied abroad for a semester in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and tells me she’s been lucky enough to visit some amazing places around the world. Sarah enjoys traveling and exploring new cultures and places, but New Orleans definitely tops her list of favorite cities. She loves to roam the city, take photos, and take advantage of everything New Orleans has to offer. Follow Sarah on Twitter at @Tulane_Sarah.









 JP Stiles

Born and raised in Darnestown, MD, outside of Washington, D.C., JP Stiles currently studies at Tulane University. He was drawn to New Orleans for its vibrant music and now proudly embraces the city as his second home. Wrapping up his time at Tulane, he will graduate next year with dual degrees in Psychology and Digital Media Production. Stay tuned for some of JP's amazing videos that he’s got in the works for us here in the admission office. Trust me, you are going to dig these for sure.







Alex Williams
Alex Williams is one of our newest members of the team and is a freshman from Baton Rouge, LA, majoring in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology with a Marine Biology minor. Alex loves Tulane, so she told me she figured what better way to encourage people to come and be involved than to be part of a team that interacts with students directly? For her first-year perspective on what it’s like to navigate Tulane, follow her on Twitter @TulaneAlex and on Instagram @_alexsays!








Walker Daniel
Walker Daniel’s my second freshman on the team-  emphasis on the fresh. She tells me she’s so new to the whole college thing - but she’s loving every minute. According to Walker, she knows “how much of an influence the admission's social media team, TruTU, had on me during the crazy, how-am-I-ever-supposed-to-pick-a-school application process.” Follow her Twitter @TulaneWalker to watch her in the post-process: freshman year. Also, look for her on the Official Tulane University Class of 2018 Facebook page!


Just FYI, Mara was just named
Tulane's Homecoming Queen 

Mara O'Brien-Hahn
Mara O'Brien-Hahn grew up on a little farm in Tennessee and ventured to NOLA four years ago determined to join every Tulane student organization and eat a po'boy from every shop in the city.  She’s managed to make headway on both goals and is now Panhellenic President, a peer health educator, a Green Wave Ambassador, and a proud po'boy connoisseur.  For the record, Mara wholeheartedly believes you haven't lived until you've eaten a surf and turf po'boy from Parkway Bakery and Tavern.  Follow Mara as she shops for homecoming dresses on Pinterest, catalogs her life as a TruTU guest blogger, and shares her #seriouslifethoughts on Twitter. And if I could blow up Mara’s spot for a second here- she was just named our Homecoming Queen.









That’s all for now, stay tuned to see what these kids come up with.
