With summer approaching, employees are asked to review the university's guidelines related to bringing a child or dependent to work.

Tulane University values an atmosphere that fosters a work life balance between work and family responsibilities.  The University believes in an environment that is conducive to work, and in which health and safety concerns of employees, students, staff and children are respected and disruptions are minimized.  Our facilities and grounds may present a variety of potential hazards to individuals, and these are greater for children who often lack the hazard recognition abilities of an adult.  The goal of the University is to address the concerns of all parties when a child is in the workplace, minimize the risk of injury and promote a safe work environment.  Therefore, dependents are not permitted to attend work with their parents during the summer or other times of the year.  Parents and caregivers must make arrangements for dependent care outside of the work environment.

For child care information for the summer months, you may refer to a recent issue of Gambit Magazine, which published a list of summer camps in the Greater New Orleans area.
