Fall 2025 Young Alumni Events

Our Mission

The 'Bos of the Last Decade (BOLD) Committee is a Shared Interest Group of the Tufts University Alumni Association. This committee comprises volunteers who graduated in the last decade (2016 - 2025) and are committed to connecting young alumni to Tufts through engagement and philanthropy.

What does BOLD do?

  • Young Alumni Events

    BOLD members serve as boots-on-the-ground planners in major cities across the country. They assist the Office of Alumni Engagement in choosing venues and experiences that cater to young alumni. From happy hours to community service days to webinars and more, BOLD members help plan events throughout the year to provide opportunities for young alumni to connect off the Hill.

    Upcoming Events

  • #TuftsGivingTuesday

    Launched in 2012, #GivingTuesday, the Tuesday after Thanksgiving (U.S.), is a global day dedicated to giving back. Each year, Tufts has gotten more involved—last year, a record $4.95 million was raised by close to 8,000 people.

    #TuftsGivingTuesday an important Tufts tradition for students, alumni, parents, friends, faculty, and staff to support what matters most to them—and to you —at Tufts.

    On #TuftsGivingTuesday, BOLD members encourage their classmates and friends to contribute to Tufts and make an impact through the dozens of challenges focused on financial aid, student life, athletics, DEIJ initiatives, first-generation student support, and much more. This year, BOLD volunteers invited peers to give to financial aid to support the first BOLD Scholar - a scholarship for a deserving student funded entirely by young alumni.

Our Co-Chairs

The BOLD Co-Chairs partner directly with the Tufts Annual Giving and Alumni Engagement teams to help steer young alumni engagement and philanthropic opportunities. They keep a pulse on how recent graduates want to engage with Tufts and connect young alumni with causes that are important to them.
