The House Concurrent Resolution commends Tulane University for its longstanding history of academic excellence and significant contributions to the state of Louisiana. As the ninth-oldest private university in the Association of American Universities, Tulane boasts prestigious programs, including the twelfth-oldest law school and the fifteenth-oldest medical school in the nation. The university has produced a remarkable list of alumni, including twelve Louisiana governors, a U.S. Supreme Court chief justice, and two Nobel laureates. Tulane is also recognized as a leading research institution, securing $210 million in external research funding in fiscal year 2022 and housing one of only seven federally-funded National Primate Research Centers in the country.

In addition to its academic achievements, Tulane University plays a vital role in Louisiana's economy, contributing $2.3 billion annually and employing over 8,000 individuals. The university's initiatives, such as the Louisiana Promise Program, aim to retain talented students in the state by meeting their financial needs without loans. Furthermore, Tulane's expansion efforts, including the redevelopment of Charity Hospital in New Orleans, are set to enhance the local economy and foster innovation. The resolution expresses pride in Tulane's accomplishments and extends best wishes for its continued success in providing a premier educational experience.
