Every time you call the Office of Admission it's routed directly to my cell phone! Just kidding. As it turns out, the biggest MVPs of the office are our incredible team of 22 student interns. They are a pretty epic group and they run the show; from answering your e-mails and calls to greeting you right as you step foot on campus, this team really does it all. They are really accessible to you to answer any questions you may have.
Let's take some time to get to know the team that really runs the Office of Admission at Tulane.
Name - Ben Gerber
Hometown - Brookline, MA
Grade - Junior
Majors/Minors - Finance Major, Mathematics Minor
Favorite thing about Tulane - One of my favorite parts about Tulane is how involved everyone is on and off campus. Students love to take advantage of every minute of the day and I can truly say being bored at Tulane is close to impossible. From exploring the city of New Orleans, joining organizations on campus, and doing community service within the local communities, Tulane students are getting the full undergraduate experience. I truly believe there is no better city to experience your undergraduate college years.
One thing you have to do when you visit New Orleans - One of my favorite places in New Orleans is the Fly. It is a large field alongside the Mississippi River and walking distance from campus. Tulane students love to go there after classes on Friday afternoons to kick back, kick around a soccer ball, and watch the sunset over the river.
Involvement on campus - I have been in a Greek fraternity since my freshmen year, and joined a business fraternity, too. I am also very active in the Greenbull Investment Club, have played club and intramural soccer, and love giving tours.

Favorite thing about Tulane - The size of the university and the people just make for one large extended family. It's a warm climate with even warmer people.
One thing you have to do when you visit New Orleans - When you come to New Orleans, make sure to eat a lot and listen to live music. The best place to do both is in the French Quarter. Try rabbit or crawfish or gator for the first time and find out what you've been missing out on.
Involvement on campus - At Tulane I'm on the Executive Boards for both the Undergraduate Student Government and Crawfest (Tulane's very own music festival!), work in the Admissions office and as a tour guide, and am in AKPsi professional business fraternity, the Model UN team, and Tower and Crescent.

Favorite thing about Tulane - The city and community service! With Tulane being located in uptown New Orleans, its perfect for getting around and going different places with your friends and family. Community Service plays an important part in how Tulanians help out and being in New Orleans connects you with organizations and other people that share the same passion that you do. Since, the city of New Orleans always has something going on, its awesome to be a part of it all and share different experiences among friends.
One thing you have to do when you visit New Orleans - Go have brunch at The Ruby Slipper Cafe, get a beignet (or three) from Cafe Du Monde, go see one of the many museums/art galleries in the French Quarter, and go on a cemetery or ghost tour...and not necessarily in that order! Oops, was that more than one?
Involvement on campus - Green Wave Ambassadors Exec, Tulane University Marching Band, After-School Newcomb Tutoring (ANT), Band Tutor, Resident Advisor (RA), the Honors Program, Tower and Crescent, and I conduct research in one of the Cell and Molecular Biology labs on campus!

Majors/Minors - Masters of Biomedical Engineering, BSE Biomedical Engineering
Favorite thing about Tulane - My favorite thing about Tulane is how they make you a well-rounded person. Although the emphasis is getting a great education, you are put in the position to experience everything a “traditional college student” may experience and way more. You have the opportunity to get a world-class education while still developing your people skills.
One thing you have to do when you visit New Orleans - Go to a festival! With more than one-per-day there truly is something for everyone. Be sure to check out Poboy Fest in the Fall, Jazz Fest in the Spring, and White Linen Night in the Summer.
Involvement on campus - In addition to being a Green Wave Ambassador (Tour Guide) and Undergrad Admissions Intern, I am a teacher’s assistant, tutor for calculus and statistics, play intramural sports, and do research in Tulane’s Center for Anatomical and Movement Sciences. As an undergrad, I also helped start a community service organization and was involved in Greek Life.

Favorite thing about Tulane - Oh wow, how do I pick??? Personally, I think that our campus and student population are the perfect size. I love being able to walk across Tulane and randomly run into a bunch of friends on the way to class, but also feel a part of a larger community where I meet new people in the class room, on the soccer field, and even in airports on the way home!

Majors/Minors - Anthropology and Gender & Sexuality Studies
Favorite thing about Tulane - My favorite thing about Tulane is definitely the community and the support people provide to each other. Being an international student, I was worried about not fitting in with the community here. Not only has the Tulane community accepted me for who I am, but has also been there for me whenever I needed them. I absolutely admire that and see Tulane as my second home (maybe even first, sorry mom & dad!).
One thing you have to do when you visit New Orleans - If you visit New Orleans during the holiday season, I highly recommend going to the Roosevelt Hotel and see their main lobby. They decorate it every season and it is literally the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. It has a festive and warm spirit. It is one of my NOLA traditions!
Involvement on campus - Honors Program, Resident Advisor, Newcomb Tulane Honor Board, Green Wave Ambassadors, Global Ambassadors, Alpha Lambda Delta and Tower and Crescent.

Majors/Minors - Public Health and International Development, Minor: Spanish
Favorite thing about Tulane - My favorite things about Tulane are its size and commitment to giving back through service. There is always someone new to meet, but I’m constantly seeing my friends around campus. I also love that Tulane’s culture and curriculum encourage students to participate in community service. Almost every student gets to know and gives back to the New Orleans community during their time at Tulane through service learning, student-led clubs and organizations, Outreach Tulane (one of our annual service days), and independent volunteer projects.
One thing you have to do when you visit New Orleans - When I have visitors, I love to take them to Dat Dog, Preservation Hall, and a festival or event like Blues and Barbecue or the St. Patrick’s Day parade if one is happening during their stay! New Orleans is such a captivating city, and I think these events are an incredible way to get a taste of that.
Involvement on campus - I’m involved with Swim for Success (teaching lower-income kids how to swim), Green Wave Ambassadors, the Asian American Student Union, and the Peace Corps Prep Program. I also studied abroad in Botswana this past semester.

Tulane email - ebianco@tulane.edu
Grade - Senior
Majors/Minors - Classics with a minor in Chemistry
Favorite thing about Tulane - My favorite thing about Tulane is the emphasis it puts on interdisciplinary studies. Tulane offers many pre-professional programs that are centered around integrating the undergraduate and graduate experience, which prepares students well for whatever they wish to achieve after graduation. What makes this even better is the amazing city that Tulane is surrounded by - where else in the country can you apply early to medical or law school one day, and then see Elton John at Jazz Fest the next?
One thing you have to do when you visit New Orleans - Spend an evening at the Fly Park on the Mississippi River, and then end the day at New Orlean's many live music venues. Maison, Tipitina's, and Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop are some of my favorites!
Involvement on campus - In addition to working in the Admissions Office as an Intern and Tour Guide, I am on Tulane's Honor Board, a member of the Classics Honors Society Eta Sigma Phi, and am a member of Tulane's Creative Pre-Medical Scholars Program. I was also one of the 2016 Orientation Team Leaders!
Grade - Senior
Majors/Minors - Political Science and Philosophy with Minors in Economics and Business
Favorite thing about Tulane - The incredible balance that Tulane offers. When I was looking at colleges in high school, I hoped for a few things. First, I always wanted a school that had both a campus and an actual, exciting city. Tulane's beautiful campus allows for me to see friends while walking to class, experience football tailgates, and fosters a homey feel. Additionally, New Orleans always has something going on. Whether it is a Po Boy Festival or Mardi Gras, the city is never boring. Second, I wanted a medium-sized school. At Tulane, my largest classes are usually around 30 students so I get to know my professors extremely well and the classes are not dauntingly large. At the same time, I constantly meet new and interesting people, making Tulane even more fresh and exciting. Finally, I wanted a school that balanced academic life with student life. My ideal college has academics as the priority, but also happy students. At Tulane, we are the 39th best national university according to US News and at the same time, we have the 4th happiest student body according to the Princeton Review. It does not get much better than that.
