Over 3000 people have visited this cool map so far!  The Office of International Students and Scholars is proud to launch Gumbo to Pho:  An Intercultural Food Map. The map aims to raise awareness between identities and food, celebrate diversity and cultures represented on campus, and share New Orleans food and catering options with the Tulane community.  Multicultural Student Organizations have been asked for input, so check back frequently because we will be updating it in the next few weeks. We hope you enjoy seeing student recommendations!
