About:
Hello! My name is Liv Weik (she, her, hers). I am a sophomore from St. Louis, MO majoring in Philosophy and Public Health on the Pre-Law track. On campus I am a part of Students United for Reproductive Justice, Sexual Aggression Peer Hotline and Education, New Student Orientation, and Green Wave Ambassadors. My favorite aspect of Tulane is the ease and flexibility of exploring different areas of study. When I came to Tulane I was completely undecided about my major, but when you're accepted to Tulane, you're accepted to all five of the schools. I was able to try out different classes and discover what I am passionate about! When I'm not on campus I'm usually relaxing outdoors in Audubon Park or The Fly.

Hello! My name is Domini Johnson, and I am from Kansas City, Missouri. I am currently a sophomore majoring in Neuroscience with a double minor in Psychology and Spanish (Pre-Med). Outside of being a Diversity Fellow, on campus I am a cheerleader, and member of the Minority Association of Premedical Students, and a member of Tulane's American Medical Women's Association.

These range from little things like trying a new food to big things like exploring the city of New Orleans.

About:
Coming from the Cupertino, California, I had the “better than thou” mindset that the Bay Area inevitably gives you if you’ve lived there long enough. But New Orleans exceeded every single expectation I had. Every aspect of it had some semblance of love and culture behind it. The food is incredible, the music is soulful, and the people are among the nicest I’ve ever met. So, when I first stepped into Tulane’s campus, I knew I had chosen my future home well. (Tulane’s rankings in academics, most engaged in community service, and happiest students certainly helped my parents allow me to move 2,000 miles away.) Currently, I’m a Cell and Molecular Biology and Public Health double major on the pre-med track. I’m involved in Center for Public Service and I research downtown at both the School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine and the Medical School. It can be a lot of work, but Tulane students are all about the “Work Hard, Play Hard” lifestyle. So, when I’m not studying, I enjoy going to the fly, watching movies at the historic Prytania theater, and exploring the biggest little city in America!

Hi y'all! My name is Alaa Malik, and I am a junior here at Tulane from New Orleans double majoring in Finance and Cell and Molecular Biology with a minor in Arabic. On campus, I'm a Green Wave Ambassador, an intern in the admission office, involved in religious life, and I just starting shadowing in a research lab! Off campus, I'm an ACT instructor with the Princeton Review and an aftercare counselor at local high school. Being originally from here, I was worried about what it would be like to stay in the same place and go to college, but I could not have asked for a better experience. New Orleans is one of those cities where there is something new everyday, and 3 years later, there is still so much I'd love to try! Also, Tulane has some of the most inspiring and amazing students, so you can literally meet people who double major, have a job, and research, yet you'll still find them out in the city exploring, and that has to be my favorite thing about coming here!

My name is Trejon Shelton and I am a current junior from Pasadena, CA (right outside of Los Angeles). I am studying International Relations with a minor in Chinese and Management. On campus some things I am involved in are the Green Wave Ambassadors (which are our tour guides on campus), Black Student Union, Concert Committee, and the New Student and Leadership Program (as an Orientation Leader). In addition, I work in the Admission office as an intern at the front desk. So when you stop by don’t forget to come say hi! What I love most about Tulane is the family-oriented community that is present here. When I am at Tulane, I feel at home; and I want to share that same love and happiness with all I come across on this campus. In addition, I can’t be more thankful to be in such a historical, musical, and culturally rich city. There is always something intriguing and exciting going on. The combination of an amazing on campus experience and the opportunity to immerse in all that is ‘The Big Easy’, makes for some unforgettable and profound years in one’s life.
