Our Mission Statement:
Save Tulane Engineering is a non-profit, student run,
organization dedicated to promoting the educational value
of engineering at Tulane and in New Orleans. Our goals are
twofold: First, to garner support for engineering
programs critical to the renewal of New Orleans. Second, to
enhance educational opportunities through superior research
and community involvement by providing necessary funds for
the School of Engineering. We value a commitment to
excellent engineering through innovation, creativity, and
integrity in our personal and professional lives.
History:
SaveTulaneEngineering.org was formed within 12 hours after
Tulane announced the elimination of the majority of the
engineering programs at Tulane University. In the aftermath
of Hurricane Katrina, it took the administration over 1
week to get a website up and running.
After the announcement, communication among Tulane
Engineers was at an all time high. Many were upset that the
Board of Administrators would do such a thing in New
Orleans' time of need. This website seemed like the best
way to coordinate efforts among the technologically active
student body. The website went live at 6 am on December 9,
2005. We also started an Online Petition to quantify the
support we received. In under three days we had gathered
over 1,000 signatures. You can sign the petition
here.
