PROJECT ONE: pre-orientation program
Project One pre-orientation program runs from Sunday, August 15 through Friday, August 20. Participants in the pre-orientation program will also have the opportunity to continue adding to the project throughout the year. Students working with Project One will:
- create a multimedia documentary project about the ways Louisianians tell their stories
- move to campus a week early
- meet the members of Tulane Student Media
- get a head start getting to know Tulane, New Orleans and its surrounding communities
Project One is multimedia: we’ll be working with video, audio, web, written words, still photography, etc. We’ll examine diverse topics, from oral history traditions in New Orleans East to satire in Muses and Krewe D’Etat Mardi Gras floats; from a swamp pop radio station “down the bayou” to the local all-talk WWL 870AM.
No experience needed.
Project One starts Sunday, August 15 and continues until move-in morning. Participants are responsible for traveling to New Orleans and should arrive at Tulane no later than 8 p.m. Sunday, August 15. There is an airport shuttle from the airport to campus.
The cost is $230 (housing, most meals, activities and supplies). Students will be housed in the Tulane residence halls. Every effort will be made to move participants into their permanent rooms, but that may not be possible in all cases.
