Road Warriors!

Look how cute Morgan looks during her NYC travels! 

We've just had our first staff meeting with everyone back in the office after a whirlwind travel season. Right now, your admission team is hunkered down reading the applications of the thousands of Early Action students that we met while on the road. We're loving reading your essays and recommendation letters, and of course we particularly love reading your Why Tulane? statements and hearing all about why you feel Tulane and NOLA are the perfect spots to spend your next four years. After all this travel, it's also neat for us to be able to put faces with names as we read these applications.

Now that we're all finally back in the office, I thought it might be interesting for you all to know where we've been.

By the numbers:
1046: Number of high schools visited
162: Number of flights taken by the admission team
142,583: Miles traveled
21: Number of countries visited: India, Turkey, Switzerland, UK, Belgium, Netherlands, Hong Kong, Singapore, Vietnam, China, Korea, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Puerto Rico and Canada.

You may have checked out my post when I got back from my trip last month with some shots of my travels. Here are a few more of my colleagues around the world, recruiting the best and brightest for the class of 2019. And using the very small amounts of free time we get on the road to find some time to enjoy themselves.

Roll Wave!

Owen got a chance to check out the College Gameday desk at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta

When in New York: Sarah's everything bagel with lox! One thing we do a lot of on the road is eat. 

When you recruit in India, traffic can be cows. 

A long overdue culinary milestone: Sarah's first cider doughnuts!

We spend a lot of nights in hotels. Why not make the most of it? Owen did. Tulane football on a projector screen!

Sometimes they catch us off guard when we take our visitor photos. 

Laura in Guatemala City with reps from other schools she traveled with.

The girl loves to hike. Here's Laura in the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon.

Lindsey at the Alamo! 

Holly found this relic while recruiting in Colorado. 

Laura in Nicaragua! 

Morgan took a little beach break one afternoon in NorCal.
We admission staff members are a resourceful bunch, using our table banners as beach mats. 

We love visiting our own high schools! Here is Morgan's visit at her alma mater.

Owen found Tulane Street in Princeton, NJ. 

Sometimes, the lights go out. Like in India, where Antoinette gave her presentation lit by an iPhone. Like I said: resourceful!

Me on my way to a school in Korea.
