Spring 2021 President’s Excellence Awards

The President’s Excellence Awards are conferred on faculty, staff, departments, and teams who have gone above and beyond in their service to Tulane University. In a typical year, I present the President's Excellence Award to 10 individuals and two teams or departments. In December 2020, I presented awards to more than 300 Tulanians for their roles in achieving what many said was impossible. This year, for the first time ever, I am launching a spring cycle of the President’s Excellence Award to recognize the work of our incredible colleagues after another unprecedented semester. The threat of COVID-19 has continued into 2021, and so have the extraordinary efforts of members of the Tulane family throughout all schools, campuses, departments, centers, offices and segments of our university. Supporting innovative teaching strategies, sustaining safety and testing protocols, coordinating vaccine distribution, finding creative and COVID-safe alternatives for students to engage with one another and much, much more are all part of the many ways Tulanians have gone above and beyond in 2021.

Thank you to all of these remarkable Tulanians whose dedication and hard work propelled the university to success, despite historically challenging circumstances.
