San Diego Club

About the San Diego Club

The Tulane Club of San Diego is an active group of local alumni who organize social, educational and cultural activities for Tulane alumni in San Diego and adjacent counties. The club is a constituent member of the Tulane Alumni Association (TAA.) Founded in 1898, TAA provides a forum for meaningful involvement and interaction among the university’s 105,000 alumni, its students and university leaders.

With more than 688 local Tulane alumni, proportionately the San Diego Club has the largest email list of all 60+ Tulane Clubs and we are among the most active. In 1998, we were honored by the Tulane Alumni Association with the Outstanding Club award.

Click on the Photos/Archives link to see what we’ve been up to lately. Traditionally our events have included an annual crawfish boil and Mardi Gras supper. We helped out with new student recruitment and attended College Fairs & Admissions reception; saw blues guitarist Mem Shannon at a local club and again at the N.O. Jazz & Heritage Festival; boogied with Marcia Ball at the Belly Up Tavern; cheered for our top rated baseball team at a sports bar when they beat LSU on national TV and again when they reached the College World Series; hosted a VIP tent at Gator by the Bay Cajun-Zydeco Fest at Spanish Landing; helped clean up San Diego’s beaches and assisted in the “Grunion Greeter” project which is headed by Melissa Studer N’94. Occasionally our events are held in conjunction with the Los Angeles and Orange County Clubs.

Additionally, there are email announced opportunities to attend club planning meetings, community volunteer projects, sports viewings on TV, music concerts at local nightclubs, theater outings, academic receptions and YAT (Young Alums of Tulane) happy hour networking nights. Use the E-mail Listserv link to subscribe to the San Diego list and/or the San Diego Young Alumni list.

Activities of the club are planned and organized by local alumni with the assistance of the Tulane Office of Alumni Affairs. Therefore, your ideas and help are always welcome. We’re always looking for some new volunteers to coordinate and/or help with specific events. It’s fun, so don’t be shy.
