Dear Parents and Families,
Welcome Back and Greetings from the Tufts Career Center! I joined the Tufts family in July as the new Executive Director of the Career Center, and with over 15 years of experience in higher education, I can assure you that the student services staff is one of the best I have ever worked with. My team is dedicated to fostering the success of all Jumbos as they prepare for life after Tufts. And we see our students’ parents as key partners in our work!
For entering first-year students, getting a job after graduation is a major factor in their college decision-making process, listed as one of their highest concerns. They are often led to believe that selecting a major can make or break their future. Their career journey might look much different than many of ours, and that is ok. My mantra in recent years is that “your career is what you look back on, the day you retire”. It’s not just the first step in their career journey that we are preparing them for; we are supporting the access to and development of tools that will support your student for a lifetime of success...
