        1. Flexner Patio

          The Leigh Kirsten Flexner Patio and Gardens, located behind Gibson Hall at Tulane University, is a poignant tribute to Leigh Kirsten Flexner, a beloved student who tragically passed away in 1987. Originally dedicated by her parents, Lynne and Donald Flexner, the space featured a memorial plaque honoring Leigh's memory for many years. In 2023, the Flexners decided to expand this tribute, transforming the area into a beautiful patio and garden space. Now, adorned with stone paving, benches, and vibrant flowers, the patio serves as a lasting memorial to Leigh and provides a peaceful retreat for students and alumni to gather and reflect. It stands as a touching reminder of the enduring connections within the Tulane community.
