The Space Law program at Tulane Law School officially launched this fall with two courses, Space Law: Jurisdiction and International Treaties, and Space Law: Property, Tort and the Environment. A “mini-course” was also offered last spring, attracting 60 students.

The School of Science and Engineering will receive $500,000 as part of a new consortium dedicated to educating quantum engineers. The funding will train a new generation of these engineers in advanced computing and communications technologies. The funding comes from the U.S. Department of Energy’s RENEW Initiative, which awarded a total of $4.8 million in grants to the seven universities in the consortium.

When the Steven and Jann Paul Hall for Science and Engineering officially opened in January as the new home of the School of Science and Engineering, it will bring 70,000 square feet in a five-story building with research laboratories, an animal research facility, a 200-plus seat auditorium, student gathering areas and more.

The Louisiana Board of Regents designated Tulane and other Louisiana universities as a “hunger-free” campus, indicating that Tulane has established elements of a program designed to combat food insecurity among students, including participating in at least one anti-hunger awareness event each academic year.
