Join virtual information sessions for several of the Tufts Programs Abroad:

The Student Accessibility and Academic Resources (StAAR) Center has great academic success and writing workshops coming up this week! Join us for "Write Early, Write Often: The Writing Process for Senior Thesis Writers" on Monday, November 6, at 12 noon–1 p.m. in the Dowling Hall Milmore Room and "Sustaining Good Habits" on Wednesday, November 8, at 12 noon–1 p.m. in Cummings Center Room 260. If you have questions, contact the StAAR Center at StAARCenter@Tufts.edu.

Please join Tufts Global Education (TGE) and the Division of Student Diversity and Inclusion (DSDI) in our upcoming Know Before U Go (KBUG) event, Navigating Race & Ethnicity Abroad. The event will take place on Wednesday, November 8, in Tisch Library Room 224 (DSDI Research Hub) at 5:30–7 p.m., and dinner will be served!

Join Tufts professor Hassaan Khan on Thursday, November 9, at 12 noon for this week's Hoch Cunningham Environmental Lectures (HoCu) talk. This lecture will present two contextually tailored mixed-methods approaches to estimate household water use in the coastal megacity of Karachi, Pakistan. Along with study findings, this lecture will feature a discussion of the infrastructural and institutional challenges of producing empirical evidence to inform urban water management in the Global South.

Few topics are as important to higher education as the impact of the recent Supreme Court (SCOTUS) affirmative action ruling. The court held that race-based affirmative action programs in college admissions processes violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Will this impact college admissions and the U.S. workplace? If so, how? Join us for a Zoom webinar sponsored by the Tufts Lawyers Association on Thursday, November 9, at 6:30 p.m. Students are welcome!

Join us on Thursday, November 9, at 7 p.m. in Barnum Hall Room 104 for the second screening of EcoCinema Month. We will watch AWAKE, A Dream from Standing Rock (2017) and have a discussion about indigenous rights, fossil fuel investment, and activism. Attend to have the chance to win a Moviegoer Gift Basket at the end of the screening series! Entry is free, and snack will be provided.

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.
