949: High Schools visited.
8570: Number of students who attended a Tulane high school visit.
474: Total days spent on the road by admission staff members.
153: Number of individual flights taken by admission staff members.
27: Countries visited (Canada, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, France, Germany, Guatemala, Honduras, Hong Kong, India, Jordan, Lebanon, Nicaragua, Oman, Panama, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, Vietnam).
17: Community Based Organizations visited. This year, we went to places like College Track, Next Generation Scholars, and Overtown Youth Center. Our top priority is to have the Class of 2022 be the most diverse in our history and visiting CBOs is a great way to connect with a community of students that we don't ordinarily get to reach. CBOs provide great programming and mentorship to their students and we're excited to partner with so many of them.
To round out the blog this week, I'll leave you with some of my favorite shots of Homecoming and some of the photos we took while traveling around the world. Enjoy!
