In the early days, we were thinking more like 60 percent. But students wanted to be involved with the rebuilding of New Orleans. They wanted to come. |
The Tulane community has been a big boost for the city not only economically, but also through the enthusiasm that young people always bring with them. |
Those are the students we want. |
When we got our students back, the population of New Orleans increased by 10 to 20 percent. A lot of businesses pegged their openings to the return of our students. We expect the students to be a big part of rebuilding. |
