“Umbrellas — and minds — work best when they are open. … Together, with our umbrellas, we are prepared for any storm.” MICHAEL A. FITTS, president of Tulane University, at the Convocation for New Students in Avron B. Fogelman Arena in Devlin Fieldhouse on Aug. 18, 2022. Students were provided second-line umbrellas, which they were encouraged to adorn with memorabilia.
