It was great to be back in Yulman Stadium for our first home game of the season!

The energy from the @Tulane community made for a great night, and a @GreenWaveFB win made it even better.

Roll Wave!

It was great to join head @Coach_Hall7 and Green Wave supporters at a meet-and-greet hosted by the @CFSTulane.

Looking forward to cheering on the Green Wave this fall.

Daniel Cressy's journey reflects the very best of @Tulane. After receiving care from our physicians since infancy, he recently celebrated a milestone signifying he is functionally cured following Louisiana's first gene therapy treatment for sickle cell disease.

Congrats, Daniel.

At America’s 250th, I'm proud to reflect on Tulane's enduring place in our nation's story. From welcoming U.S. presidents and preparing future leaders through ROTC to fostering international ties through Fulbright U.S. Students, Tulane continues to educate, discover and serve.

[Mike Fitts @TUFitts]

As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, what can our oldest universities teach us about enduring institutions?

My latest @Forbes column explores the importance of mission alignment, long-term thinking and the free exchange of ideas.

With an aim to open in 2029, it will help drive New Orleans’ shift toward an economy powered by life-saving research, startups and high-growth industries.

It was an honor to join Daniel Cressy, Dr. Benjamin Watkins, and @LCMCHealth today at @manfamchildrens.
