Coming up this week at the Student Accessibility and Academic Resources (StAAR) Center:

Our resources are free and open to all undergraduates.

The 20th Annual Tufts Engineering Student-Alumni Networking Night will take place on Wednesday, February 18, at 6–8 p.m. in 51 Winthrop St. (Breed Memorial Hall). This opportunity is designed to allow students to practice their professional networking skills and meet with alumni to hear about their career paths and life after Tufts. Students from all classes and majors are invited to attend. Light dinner and celebratory cake will be provided.

We're heading back to court—this time to Suffolk Superior Court for a day of court watching. We'll hear bail arguments, pre-trial motions, and hopefully part of an evidentiary hearing or trial. The courthouse is T-accessible at Government Center behind One Center Plaza. Please cover your own transportation. Meet on Thursday, February 19, at 9 a.m. just past security. Lunch is provided by the Tufts Lawyers Association.

Tufts is excited to host panelists from Wayfair, Formlabs, and JobScan on Friday, February 20, at 1–2 p.m. in Aidekman Arts Center Alumnae Lounge. Representatives will share insider insights on how artificial intelligence (AI) is used in their recruitment processes and how AI can be leveraged to support the early career job search process, as well as which pitfalls to avoid when using AI.

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.

Sign up for a free, four-week Introduction to Mindfulness class through Student Life, taught by certified mindfulness instructors. Classes are held at Tisch Library on Sundays, starting today. (See the sign-up link for specific times.) Students who complete the course report better sleep, less stress, less self-judgment, and greater mindfulness and focus. Space is limited, so reserve your spot today.
