Alumni Advice
"Use your resources. There’s a lot of resources that Tulane offers you as a current student—academic advisors, career services, professors. Take advantage of them—the people here are really helpful and they care about students. All the resources at Tulane downtown —and uptown— remember you are still a Tulane student and you can utilize all the resources that Tulane has to offer. Use that to your advantage!"
— Thu Phan (BSPH '17, MHA '23)
