In May 2018, we said goodbye to our third cohort of Altman Scholars. Chosen from over 100 applicants, this group of Scholars has made their mark here at Tulane and at the Altman Program. A few words that describe this cohort: intelligent, kind, fun-loving, opinionated, determined, goofy, interesting, courageous, resourceful, hard-working, and very loving.
