The Potterheads of Green Wave
I remember when the last Harry Potter book released. I was still in elementary school. Many of my friends and their siblings were camping out in the mall waiting to buy the book. Though I couldn’t join them (my parents thought it was crazy for a rising fourth grader to camp out for anything, let alone a book), it was the first time I felt a connection with people through the books. That summer marked an important part of my childhood and a key fact to my identification: I, Jasmine Shabazz, am a Potterhead.

Tulane has incorporated the love of books into its university. Tulane has focused on the education of its students by engaging them in activities that the Millennial generation values.

I’ve observed over the years that many students who read Harry Potter growing up have become feminists and more open-minded. J.K. Rowling introduced many themes within the series that has affected me and the most prominent is the power of love. This theme also applies to Tulane.
When Hurricane Katrina hit, many students left. The administrators of Tulane made sure that students could continue their education elsewhere until they could come back to New Orleans. Love in this sense is directed towards education. Tulane still wanted their students to achieve their goals and succeed. In this sense Tulane is like the parent who comforts the child after their pet ran
