Erica Woodley, assistant vice president and dean of students at Tulane, is a recipient of the Young Leadership Council’s (YLC) Role Model Award, an annual honor that recognizes outstanding individuals who have contributed to the advancement and well-being of the New Orleans community.
In a normal year, Woodley’s duties include overseeing student conduct, the Goldman Center for Student Accessibility, case management and victim support services, and more recently, the Office of Parent Programs. However, during a global pandemic, with strict COVID-19 restrictions in place, Tulane required additional resilience and dedication of its staff to make the in-person learning experience possible. In the face of these challenges, Woodley has been steadfast in her resolve to serve New Orleans and the Tulane community, and to remain an advocate for students.
Tulane’s beautiful, tree-lined campus will feel like home in no time. Our students can choose to live in residential colleges with people who share their interests, or opt for a more traditional dorm experience. Residence halls and libraries offer quiet places to study but there are many other cozy spots to study or even take a nap between classes.
With over 25 dining locations on campus, students are never far from a wide range of meals and snacks. A monthly farmer’s market, food trucks and a late night diner are some of the most popular offerings.
