TU Thrive seeks to ensure that students are immersed in an environment of holistic support that cultivates a growth mindset throughout their academic journey. The initiative recognizes the unique challenges some students may face and is dedicated to providing the resources, relationships and opportunities that empower them to succeed, connect and contribute meaningfully to the Tulane and New Orleans communities.
This initiative, a collaboration between Newcomb-Tulane College (NTC), the Division of Enrollment Management and the Division of Student Affairs, provides comprehensive academic and personal development resources from deposit day on May 1 through graduation and beyond. By centering the unique needs of these students, TU Thrive fosters a supportive educational environment, strengthens student persistence to degree attainment and promotes connections within the university community, ensuring students have the tools to achieve their aspirations.
