Your student’s classroom could be anywhere 🌍

This summer, 11 Tulane students and SLAM Professor of Practice Jolene Pinder took their learning beyond the traditional classroom, traveling to the Bahamas to explore sustainability and culture alongside local leaders.

Study abroad allows students to apply what they’re learning in real-world settings, engage with new communities and gain perspectives they can’t get from a textbook or lecture hall. For these students, farms, caves and local communities became part of the learning experience.

Learn more about this class and tell your student to save the date for the Study Abroad Fair on Oct. 20.

For Jolene Pinder, the Bahamas is more than the surf, sand and sun that draw millions of visitors each year. The island nation is part of her family history, her childhood and, increasingly, her understanding of leadership.

Twenty years of . Three deans. One conversation about what shaped the School — and what comes next.

To mark SLA’s 20th anniversary, Dean Brian T. Edwards (2018–present) sat down with former deans George Bernstein (2006–08) and Carole Haber (2008–18) for a conversation about the School’s history and future. Together, they reflect on the decisions that shaped SLA’s first two decades, what endured through extraordinary change, and the choices that continue to shape what comes next.

What can happen when a Louisiana student brings her French-language education to an international stage?

This summer, Emmeline Meyer (SLA ’27), a Political Science and Sociology major, represented Louisiana at the 11th Parlement Francophone des Jeunes (PFJ) in Yaoundé, Cameroon. As the only participant from the United States, she joined young leaders from across the Francophone world to debate issues affecting young people, lead her commission and work toward a shared resolution.

For Emmeline, the experience showed the power of language to do more than facilitate conversation — it can build relationships, create community and connect perspectives across borders.
