Calling all generous Jumbos! If you've made a donation this year—whether it was on Tufts Giving Tuesday, during April Giving, or any other time—we want to say THANK YOU in the sweetest way possible.

The truck will be parked outside Mayer Campus Center on Monday, April 28, at 2–4 p.m. Don't miss this chance to enjoy a delicious treat and celebrate the impact of giving back.

The International Center and immigration attorney Prasant Desai will discuss the current state of immigration and how to prepare for increased enforcement and will offer a Q&A for faculty, staff, and students. You will need your tufts.edu email address to register. These sessions will take place on Monday, April 28, at 3–4 p.m. and Tuesday, April 29, at 11 a.m.–12 noon.

Taking a break from studying is important to reduce stress, improve focus, and refresh your mind and body. Join us at Tisch Library and Tisch College during Reading Period for an array of activities, movie screenings, free snacks and drinks, and therapy dogs!

Please join us for the Third Annual Intergenerational Philosophy Evening to discuss "What should you do with your life?" This event will be on Tuesday, April 29, at 5:30–7 p.m. in Eaton Hall Room 201. This event is open to all Tufts students and members of the community. Free pizza and refreshments will be provided.

The Buddha's birthday, enlightenment, and passing away are celebrated around the world in May. This celebration is traditionally called Vesak. We will celebrate Vesak with the Small Art, Big Wisdom art show, watering the Baby Buddha ritual, chanting, and inspirations from the Buddhist teachers. Please join us on Tuesday, April 29, at 6–7:30 p.m. at the Interfaith Center for a meal from Zhu Vegan after the event! Contact Buddhist chaplain Vineetha Mahayaye with any questions.

From Tuesday, April 29, through Thursday, May 1, enjoy three nights of student films and projects, including documentary films, short narratives, experimental films, AI projects, scripts, and written papers. This event is open to the community.

American Football (Live in Los Angeles) is an intimate concert film celebrating the 25th anniversary of the band's iconic debut album. Featuring live performances and candid interviews with the band, Ethel Cain, Yvette Young, and M.A.G.S., the film captures the legacy and unexpected staying power of a group that helped define a genre. The film screening on Tuesday, May 6, at 7 p.m. will be followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Steph Rinzler, A23, FMS alumna and founder and creative director at prophetmedia.co

Students and Student Organizations can submit events to JumboLife! Add your event by Thursday at 12 noon each week, and we'll include it in the Jumbo Digest on Sunday.

Good luck with the end of your semester and final exams! If you need support during this time, reach out to your Advising Team or take advantage of the resources offered through Student Accessibility and Academic Resources (StAAR) Center and Counseling and Mental Health Services (CMHS).

Have a great summer!
