OK, I think I found the answer. https://tulane.edu/studentaffairs/orientation/programs/explore/explore-index.cfm

So EXPLORE seems to be the umbrella title, and under that are the programs Greenie Camp, Summer Journalism Experience, Down & Dirty, IGNITE, ENGAGE, and of course The NOLA Experience. Some of those, like NOLA Experience, then have specific choices like eating your way through NOLA, exploring the history of NOLA, etc.

ENGAGE is a community engagement program run by Hillel that sounds like it focuses a bit more on getting to know all the different parts of Tulane and NOLA and how to get involved, while IGNITE is run by several of Tulane’s public service centers and introduces students to the huge assortment of organizations that are available for getting involved and helps them sort through them to find the best ones for them. ENGAGE sounds a bit more like a very nice attempt to smooth the transition to a new environment.

Summer Journalism is for Hullabaloo aspirants, not the local NOLA paper. It does require an application, interviews from current Hullabaloo staff, etc. Not everyone is accepted.

Down & Dirty is just what it sounds like, a very outdoorsy experience in SE Louisiana.

Greenie Camp is a fun look at the history of Tulane, along with its relationship to New Orleans.

The NOLA Experience is usually 7-8 tracks to select from. This year the choices were:

[]21st Century Citizenship
[]beWELL NOLA
[]Home Field Advantage
[]InternatioNOLA
[]Muses & Mystique
[]Street, Stage, and Screen: Performing in New Orleans

An explanation of each can be found at https://tulane.edu/studentaffairs/orientation/programs/explore/explore-nola-experience.cfm but of course these may change for 2016.
