Layla Salem

Sophomore 

Major: Pre-Med track 

Hometown: New Orleans, LA 

Favorite thing(s) about Tulane: “The freedom to study in multiple schools at the same time. I love that fact that I don't have to stick to science classes because I am a pre-med, I am free to study in all of the other schools as well!” 

My name is Layla Salem, and I am originally from New Orleans! I am honored to serve as a Dean's Ambassador at Tulane University. This role is a tremendous opportunity for me to develop as a leader and contribute to the enhancement of our university community. I am deeply committed to advocating for positive change on campus, particularly for underrepresented groups such as commuting students, first-generation students, and Arab and Muslim students. As a Dean's Ambassador, I am dedicated to amplifying their voices and ensuring their perspectives are heard and valued. With a firm belief in the power of representation and advocacy, I am eager to make a meaningful impact as a Dean's Ambassador, striving to create positive change and to further foster a culture of inclusivity and belonging on Tulane’s campus.
