Another Travel Season in the Books

I got to go to Switzerland! It was cool.

November 1st just passed which means #TulaneTravel 2016 has come to an end. Our staff of admission reps spent the last two months quite literally travelling the world to meet the future members of the class of 2021. By the numbers alone:

1092: High Schools Visited

5891: Number of students who attended a Tulane high school visit

29: Countries Visited (Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Ecuador, Colombia, Mexico, Switzerland, France, Germany, UK , Canada, India, Sri Lanka, Korea, Japan, China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan, Oman, UAE, and Egypt.)

16: Community Based Organizations visited. We hit up places like College Track in Los Angeles, the College Crusade in Rhode Island and Breakthrough Atlanta. Out top priority right now is to have the class of 2021 be the most diverse yet, and visiting CBOs is a great way to connect with some fantastic students. CBOs provide great programming and mentorship to these students and we're excited to partner with so many of them.  

436: Total days spent on the road by admission staff members

154: Number of individual flights taken by admission staff members 

We've met some great kids and already have our first wave of admitted students with letters in hand this week. Congrats guys! Lots more to come. Don't forget to join the Class of 2021 Facebook group. 

Enjoy the travel photos, including yet another year of the Great Admission Sefie-off.

One of my favorite parts of travel is getting to meet up with my former students who are now alumni. Here is me with Lena Franklin who gradated this year and now works for Interscope Records in Los Angeles.

Toni at Cedar Creek High School in Texas  

Palisades Charter School in Los Angeles- always one of my best visits of the year! 

Nora in Honduras at Del Campo International School in Tegucigalpa 

Owen with some of the girls at Georgetown Visitation in DC 

Sarah at Staples High School, always one of our biggest feeder schools in the USA 

Not a bad turnout at Roslyn High School in NY for Rachel 

I brought the selife-off to Hawaii here at the Punaho School.

Jill takes the angry wave to the beach in San Diego 

Sarah got a little time in for hiking 

Val in Arizona with special guest Erin who is in the video! 

Nora in Latin America 

I got to visit the Berlin Wall!

I found this Tulane pennant in a bar in Paris

College Track Boyle Heights in Los Angeles. What an inspiring place! Those cut out walls are maps of college campuses across the USA. 

Paul's in India!

And here he is with an alum in China 

Of course I found the rainbow  while exploring Switzerland on my day off.
