Outdoor Recreation
Outdoor Recreation is housed out of the Reily Student Recreation Center on the uptown campus.  Each semester, Outdoor Recreation hosts a number of outdoor trips aimed at exposing Tulane students to the Gulf South region and its outdoors through recreation activities, educating students on the environment, sustainability, and stewardship, and teaching students outside the classroom. Students on the Downtown campus are eligible to participate.  Most of our trips are subsidized and thus, offered at discounted rates to students.  A full listing of our upcoming trips, as well as registration information and prices, can be found on the Outdoor Recreation website.

School of Medicine Office of Medical Education Call for Presenters in The Interdisciplinary Seminar Series
The Interdisciplinary Seminar Series was created to address those topics that are relevant to patient care, but may not be fully addressed in the typical discipline-based clinical curriculum model. Each seminar emphasizes active learning opportunities for students, with lecture time limited to 20-30 minutes followed by a 2.5 hour period of small group problem solving exercises utilizing multiple interactive learning techniques. The ideal seminar involves faculty from multiple disciplines working together to develop a program that addresses the proposed topic in an interactive fashion. Community based resources and organizations are also used to augment seminar topics. If you are interested in presenting a seminar, contact Janet E. Johnson, MD, PhD or Dwain Williams, BA.
