Welcoming All Voices: Global Perspectives on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice
Global Tufts Month 2021: March 1 - March 31
Global Tufts Month is a university-wide celebration of our commitment to global and civic engagement through virtual discussions, panels, and culturally driven events. The theme for 2021 is Welcoming All Voices: Global Perspectives on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice.
We hope you’ll join us throughout the month of March by visiting our Global Tufts Month Events Calendar to view a collection of exciting programs hosted by alumni, students, faculty and staff.
Vote Now in the Alumni Elections!
Voting is open from February 17 to April 18, 2021, at midnight EST
How Tufts changes will depend on the candidates you elect to the Board of Trustees and to the Alumni Council. Tufts wants to hear from you!
Trustees control budgets, academic affairs, tuition, faculty, and facilities for every Tufts undergraduate and graduate school. The Alumni Council helps to shape everything from career services to reunions to programs in your area. In other words, the people elected to these two governing bodies will impact all aspects of the Tufts experience.
All alumni may vote for Alumni Trustee, but only school-specific alumni may vote for Alumni Council representatives from the school(s) with which they're affiliated.
