Tulane faculty, staff and alumni take the stage at New Orleans Book Festival
When The New Orleans Book Festival at Tulane University officially opens on Thursday, March 10, some of the most popular and thought-provoking authors will be in attendance. Even better, many of those authors are already affiliated with Tulane University. Faculty and staff from across the university will appear on panels discussing a variety of topics on Friday and Saturday, March 11-12, 2022. Seating may be limited and is first come, first served.
