My Sister's Keeper is an intentional program focused on building community among women of color at Tulane University. In collaboration with Newcomb Institute, Student Conduct, The Office for Gender & Sexual Diversity, and The Well for Health Promotion, we have designed a cohort experience with committed staff and faculty to offer support throughout the program. This program is open to undergraduate and graduate/professional students currently enrolled at Tulane University.
This small cohort experience consists of the following:
- A regularly scheduled monthly meetup
- Faculty and staff mentorship from departments mentioned above and others
- An off campus retreat in the spring semester
Issues discussed throughout the program will include strategies for the following:
- Self-Empowerment
- Networking within communities of color
- Addressing the barriers to success for women of color in higher education
- Sexuality within communities of color
- Building healthy relationships
- Healing after emotional and physical trauma
Applications are open for the 2021-2022 cohort For more information please contact Sienna Abdulahad, Director for the Office of Multicultural Affairs at sabdulahad@tulane.edu
