52nd Alumni Awards Gala

There is no Tulane without Tulanians and the talented, passionate, and driven individuals who we are proud to call Tulane alumni inspire us every day. The Tulane University Alumni Awards recognize some of the most outstanding members of our alumni community, celebrating their successes, their innovation, and their overwhelming dedication to their alma mater and the communities they call home.

The Tulane Alumni Awards Gala is a special night when the Tulane Alumni Association gathers to honor some of our brightest stars, cheering on their achievements and recognizing them for all they do.
