<p>Perhaps this will help raise Tulane's profile among its "peers". As the article says, not unexpected but still a hearty congrats to President Cowen. Tulane</a> President Cowen picked to lead elite group of American universities | NOLA.com I know there is one CC person this will make especially happy!</p>
<p>It makes me happy … and I’m not even the CC person you’re talking about!</p>
<p>President Cowen was titanic bringing Tulane back after Katrina. His January 2006 Convocation speech was one of my favorite memories. No staff, no faculty, no housing or primary schools or secondary schools for said staff and faculty … quite the mess.</p>
<p>President Cowen is the Man and I am very happy that AAU has chosen him. This news certainly is huge especially for those Tulane students that are into Research. Research is the way of the future and it is available at Tulane. Congrats to Mr. Cowen.</p>
