PARENT NEWSLETTER

NOVEMBER 2017

Mary Pat McMahon, Dean of Student Affairs

Dear Parents and Families,

Greetings from what is now an unseasonably cold mid-November here on the Medford/Somerville campus! For most of our students, midterms have now come and gone. Final papers and projects are on the horizon, and students are making spring semester advising appointments and finalizing Thanksgiving plans. As we head into the final weeks of fall, I expect you’re looking forward to connecting soon -- in person or otherwise -- with your son or daughter. I am writing this month’s Parent Newsletter to encourage you to make time in your upcoming conversations with your student to reflect with them on all that’s transpired in their learning and development at Tufts this term. These conversations may include times when your student has met frustration, failure, and what they might consider substandard outcomes in or out of class – the moments that actually have great potential for growth – and I’d also like to make sure parents and loved ones know the resources available to students here on campus.
