Now introducing Journe. Journe is a sophomore studying political science with a concentration in pre-law and a minor in philosophy. We’re gonna head over to Yulman Stadium, home to Tulane’s football team, the Green Wave. There, Journe will tell you about the sports culture and school spirit here at Tulane. Take it away, Journe.

– Hey, y’all. And a helluva hullabaloo. Growing up, I always had my college experience planned out. I knew that I wanted to attend a college that had everything, from great academics, to a great social scene, and a great cheer team. I love how here at Tulane, you can be whoever you want to be. Most of the time, I choose to be in cheerleader mode. Coming into Tulane, I was nervous as to if I would even fit in, but after putting on the cheer uniform for the first time, I knew that I was in the right place. I feel very supported on and off the field by the Tulane athletics department. Through Tulane Athletics, every student athlete will leave Tulane with a toolkit full of resources that they can use in their professional lives and their future athletic endeavors. Even if you aren’t a varsity athlete, you can still find a way to stay active through club sports or intramural sports. Here at Tulane, we have over 30 clubs sports and 13 intramural leads. It’s a great way to make friends and have fun. As a fan, students can attend any athletic event for free. We have a great football game day experience here in Yulman Stadium with tailgating on the quad beforehand. The basketball games are a ton of fun and our baseball team is nationally competitive. With so many teams doing so well over the last few years, you can really feel the school spirit around campus. I’m happy to say that I found a home within Tulane, the athletics department, and the entire university. Roll wave and back to you, Alex.

– Journe, that is incredible. Great job. And thanks for sharing your own experience as a student athlete. Whether it’s a division one sport or an intermural team that plays on the weekend, it sounds like anyone can get involved in Tulane’s sports culture. Good luck on the cheer team this year, Journe. That was fantastic. Take care.
