As the governing body of the Tufts University Alumni Association, the Tufts Alumni Council comprises about 78 members representing all schools of the university. There are additional Emeritus or retired members. View our recently elected members.
Council Activities
In coordination with the Office of Alumni Engagement (OAE), the Council assists with a number of alumni and student programs and services, such as alumni elections, regional alumni chapters and affinity groups, Alumni and Senior Awards, communications, alum giving, career services, and more.
Alumni Elections
Each year, usually from November to April, the Council manages alumni elections where Tufts alums elect alumni to serve a 3-year term on the Council. Alums also elect one or two alums to the Board of Trustees annually.
Alumni Career Services
Through a joint effort with OAE and Tufts Career Center, the Alumni Council helped to establish the Alumni Career Services Program in 2004. The program provides coaching and training, one-on-one counseling sessions, and networking opportunities for Tufts alums and has served thousands of alums from all over the United States and the world.
Supporting Tufts Financially
We are committed to supporting Tufts financially from within our membership and creating a culture of philanthropy in the Jumbo community as a whole. The Council’s goals include:
- Engaging in advocacy and outreach to raise participation in annual giving.
- Fostering an enduring culture of giving in the broad Jumbo community.
- Providing financial support to Tufts students, faculty and alumni.
