PHILIPSBURG–University of St. Martin (USM) annually hosts students of Tulane University located in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. Their visit to the island is part of their cultural anthropology courses.

The students, who hail from different states in the USA, are all pursuing their bachelor’s degrees. This is the third year Tulane University has collaborated with USM in the areas of international community service, volunteerism and student exchange.
USM Business student Parina Lotlikar participated in the student exchange programme, completing her final semester at Tulane University.
