Hello Jumbos,
This week, we're introducing Tufts' Identity-based Centers. These six Centers are for all students interested in thinking about social identities and how they impact our lives and the world. Students of all identities are welcome in each Center. We hope to see you at a program, event, or lecture soon!

This Week's News and AnnouncementsAfricana Center
The Africana Center was founded in 1969 to meet the needs and concerns of Tufts students of African descent. The Center supports the academic mission of the University by providing students access to a full range of academic, cultural, and social resources and programs. It provides culturally focused lectures, workshops, concerts, and films that reflect and celebrate the intellectual tradition of Black people in the Diaspora.

Asian American CenterThe Asian American Center, founded in 1983, is a resource for the University and the Asian/Asian American communities, and it fosters a supportive environment for the academic and personal development of students through its year-round programs and services. The Center recognizes the mono- and multiracial East Asian, Southeast Asian, and South Asian peoples, cultures, and intersecting social identities present in the Tufts community, and advocates for students to ensure a successful college experience.

FIRST Resource CenterThe FIRST Resource Center was founded to create a community of support and to develop a network of resources for Tufts' first-generation, low-income, and undocumented populations. FIRST welcomes any student who self identifies with the first-generation college student experience. By strengthening the bonds between our community members and bridging the gap between Tufts’ resources and first-gen students, FIRST aims to ensure that first-gens are empowered in and prepared to reach their full social, professional, and academic potentials.

Tufts Latino CenterThe Tufts Latino Center is a welcoming community providing a dedicated environment to engage in research, celebration, collaboration, and dialogue to inspire advocacy, retention, appreciation, and social change within the Latinx community. The center offers academic and personal advising, mentorship, and guidance for all students. Founded in October 1993, the Latino Center is a space and resource for Tufts University students and community members to gather, learn, share experiences, show support and appreciation of Latinx identities. As one of the Identity-based centers within the Department of Student Affairs, the Latino Center seeks to provide resources for inclusion, education, academic achievement, and cultural programming in collaboration with students, staff, faculty, alumni, and community at large.

LGBT Center
Founded in 1992, the LGBT Center offers a space for all students, faculty, and staff to explore their unique relationship to gender and sexuality through personal, political, or academic lenses. The Center provides programming, advising, and social opportunities for queer students and allies, and aims to improve the experience of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people at Tufts, as well as to provide campus-wide education about sexuality and gender.

Women's Center
The Women's Center, founded in 1972, is a space open to all students interested in topics and issues broadly related to the experience of women and gender. We particularly investigate gender at the intersections of other identities such as race, sexuality, socioeconomic status, and citizenship status. While the Women's Center's primary purpose is to serve undergraduate students, we also offer information, events, and resources for graduate students, faculty and staff, alumni, and parents.
