The program focuses on bringing underrepresented students to campus for tours, giving students a chance to see how higher education can benefit them. Since its inception in 2016, over 2,300 students and 29 high schools in Entergy and Nicholls’ service area have toured Nicholls campus through the Tour Tuesday program, with about 500 students expected to participate this year. 

“Presenting this campaign to the United Nations is vital to the success of what we are doing as Nicholls students to bring together young adults like us around the world who are passionate about saving our homes,” said Elissa Walker, mass communication senior. “Being recognized as a project by the UN was our ultimate goal, and we achieved it.”

Lacey Crochet, chief innovation officer at Nicholls said, "Investing in education not only provides students with access to higher learning but also creates opportunities that can transform lives and empower future generations."
