About
the South Florida Club
WELCOME
to the Tulane Club of South Florida (SoFla) website. Thanks for
your interest in the SoFla Chapter of the Tulane Alumni Association.
The
Tulane Club of SoFla is an active group of local alumni in the Miami-Dade
and Broward County areas who gather for social, educational, and
cultural activities. We also share Tulane and New Orleans related
information thru the use of our email list. We have about 1600 alumni
in this area and including "parents and friends" we are 2400 people,
650 of which are on the email list, making it one of the largest
email lists in the Tulane Alumni Association (TAA) family. This
email list is the most effective and efficient way to communicate
with the Tulane Alums in the South Florida area, informing them
of Tulane related info and social activities. Please sign up and
you will be assured that you are kept up to date on all upcoming
events in the SoFla area and kept informed of all Tulane related
info.
The
club is a constituent member of the Tulane Alumni Association (TAA).
Founded in 1898, TAA provides a forum for meaningful involvement
and interaction among the university’s 105,000 alumni, its students,
and university leaders.
In
May 2002, the Tulane Alumni Association presented us the Outstanding
Club award. In recent years our events have included crawfish boils,
Mardi Gras parties and our own float in the Fiesta Tropicale Mardi
Gras parade, receptions for President Scott Cowen, Football parties,
a presentation at the Barbara Gillman (Newcomb alumna) Gallery by
Newcomb Art Director Erik Neill, a Business School reception with
Dean McFarland at the Wolfsonian Museum, and numerous other events.
Activities
of the club are planned and organized by local alumni with the assistance
of the Tulane Office of Alumni Affairs. Therefore, your ideas and
your help are always welcome. Please contact the club’s leaders
on the “Club Leadership” page if you would like to get involved.
