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.
