Under the leadership of Dean Brian Edwards, the school is advancing a vision that strengthens Tulane's intellectual core and demonstrates the value of the liberal arts in addressing today's most pressing challenges. Strategic priorities include faculty support, excellence funds, the Global Humanities Center and the renovation of Newcomb Hall.
