School of Liberal Arts
Big Footprint. Big Possibility. Big Impact.
The School of Liberal Arts is the largest at Tulane University, encompassing the social sciences, humanities and fine and performing arts through 16 departments and 19 interdisciplinary programs, as well as the Carroll Gallery, Shakespeare Festival, Summer Lyric Theatre, and the Middle American Research Institute.
Helmed by Dean Brian Edwards, our leadership team is focused on the future of our school, and the future of the liberal arts. We’re excited to engage our incredible students, faculty, staff, alumni, and donors to join us in fundraising efforts this year and make #GiveGreen2022 our biggest year yet!

Green food is on the menu at both establishments! To enter, take a screenshot of your donation and email to: libarts@tulane.edu

How are donations used?
Funds from Give Green afford us the ability to conduct national recruitment searches, bring top faculty talent to our halls, and further advance our curriculum. The success of the last two years of Give Green directly benefitted the growth of important programs such as Africana Studies and Digital Media Practices, and helped us rebrand our increasingly popular Strategy, Leadership and Analytics Minor (SLAM).
Looking ahead, we will continue to dedicate raised resources to fund a range of priorities, including:
- Student initiatives
- New hires in emerging programs such as Middle Eastern and North African Studies
- Our Creative Industries Certificate, available through our Summer Programs and of critical value to an upward business sector in New Orleans — and across the globe
- Environmental Studies, as we work together towards urgent solutions for a sustainable future
Why are donations necessary?
Gifts received will help us to continue our ongoing efforts to:
- Foster a global liberal arts through cultural connectedness and language learning
- Embrace our dual identity as a Research 1 university with a liberal arts college approach
- Celebrate our iconic location within New Orleans and the Gulf South
- Provide curriculum that guarantees our graduates the skills needed to excel in the careers of the future
