Operational Info

What is
Project One?

Project One is a multimedia program that will look at the ways Louisianians tell their stories. Intensive work on the project will occur during a pre-orientation program, but participants will be invited to continue adding to the project throughout the year.

Students in the project will work with just about every aspect of media while learning about media systems, research and the culture of Louisiana.

 

 

 

 

Operational Information:

Cost
Project One is fully funded for equipment, space, media, web storage and a host of other items, but that funding does not completely cover housing, meals and some activities for participants. Because of that, we ask that each participant pay $230 to help cover those expenses. The fee is payable by check or cash at the start of the program.

Travel
Project participants are responsible for getting to New Orleans and Tulane by 8 p.m. Sunday, August 15. Please check the Tulane Travel Portal for possible deals on flights to New Orleans and the Airport Shuttle for transportation to campus. For travel questions, please contact the Project One Director at 504-865-5141.

Medical Information Form
If you are selected to participate in Project One, you will be asked to complete a medical information form. The form will request your insurance information, your height and weight, and whether you have allergies, any chronic conditions, past surgeries, etc. You will also be asked if you have any dietary restrictions or preferences. Please e-mail it to the Project One Director.

Suggested Packing List
We ask that you only bring one suitcase or large bag for the week and that you have the rest of your belongings brought or shipped to arrive Saturday, August 21 (move-in day).
