Intramural softball

Polish your pitch. Supercharge your swing. Then compete for the coveted title against other teams on campus and at City Park.

 

Crawfish boil

It can’t be springtime without crawfish! This lawn bash—with Cajun- spiced crawfish and all the fixins—is a beloved UHC tradition.

Things to do in New Orleans

It’s iconic. It’s offbeat. It’s not like everywhere else.

New Orleans’ vibrant culture is only minutes away. Just cross the bridge to reach the historic French Quarter, the Superdome, famous music venues and more. What will you discover in NOLA?

  • Music clubs from Tipitina’s to the House of Blues.
  • Thousands of local restaurants. With swanky James Beard Award winners and down-home dives, this city is a foodie paradise.
  • Major-league teams (Saints and Pelicans) and marquee events such as the Super Bowl or NCAA Final Four.
  • Festivals of every persuasion: Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, Gretna Heritage Festival, more.
  • One-of-a-kind neighborhoods ranging from the stately Garden District to historic Algiers Point to the quirky Bywater.
