A Message from the Presidents of Xavier and Tulane Universities.

The Tulane/Xavier Partnership has grown from an informal association into an alliance that profoundly affects the economic, educational and community development of the City of New Orleans, the state of Louisiana and the nation.

Together, we bring more than $600 million into the regional economy each year. Combined, Xavier and Tulane directly employ more than 10,000 residents and educate almost as many in our undergraduate, graduate and professional schools.

We are proud to serve our community through our outreach and education. And it is our priveledge to continue to serve our region and our nation through ongoing research efforts.


Norman C. Francis, President, Xavier University

Scott Cowen, President, Tulane University
