President's Welcome Message

Dear Colleagues:
 
I am truly thrilled to welcome you to the 2022 SHAFR annual meeting. I know I am not alone in having greatly missed being able to gather together as a community over the last two years. I look forward to reconnecting with cherished SHAFR colleagues and friends.
 
Led by stellar co-chair Daniel Immerwahr and Emily Conroy-Krutz, this year’s program committee has put together a splendid mix of traditional panels, virtual sessions, keynotes, professional development activities, and social events. We look forward to seeing you over the course of a week chockful of SHAFR activities.
 
All my best,
Laura Belmonte

Transportation options for SHAFR conference attendees between the Westin (French Quarter) and Tulane campus

1. Buses -- Buses from Tulane to the French Quarter would take about 45-50 minutes. For information on bus schedules check out New Orleans RTA

2. Streetcar -- Tulane is on the St Charles Streetcar Line (green cars) and the stop is St Charles+Tulane, one block south from the LBC. To return to the French Quarter, you would take the streetcar headed toward “Canal and Carondelet” and ride it to the end of the line at Canal St. Then it's a 10 min walk to the Westin. Streetcars arrive every 15 minutes and cost $1.25 per ride, paid on board with exact change. Or you can buy a ticket right on your phone with the GoMobile app.  Alternatively, you can purchase a day pass (Jazzy Pass). The ride would be scenic but will take 55 minutes. The streetcar schedule is also available at norta.com.

PS - Do not call it a trolley, the locals will pass judgment!

3. United Cab 504-522-9771. Cab companies in New Orleans have recently joined an app called Curb to better compete with Uber and Lyft.  Cabs and rideshare services will be the quickest, with arrival back at the Westin in 20-25 minutes depending on traffic.

4. For those driving to Tulane, you may purchase a visitor pass for access to the Diboll Parking Garage or the Claiborne Avenue Lot.  Parking on St Charles Avenue, directly across from Tulane's campus is free and open to the public.
