WELCOME, PARENTS AND FAMILIES!

MAY 11, 2022

Dear Parents and Families,

Hello from the Medford/Somerville and Fenway campuses! We are looking forward to welcoming your student to the Tufts community in September. Planning for orientation is well underway, and our many colleagues in Academic Advising and Student Affairs are busy preparing for their arrival.

To kick off the summer, we invite you join us for our Welcome to Tufts webinar for parents and families on Thursday, June 2 at 7 p.m. EDT. During this live event, you will meet members of the Student Affairs and Orientation teams and learn about the New Student Checklist. There will also be time to answer some of your questions. Pre-registration and questions must be submitted in advance.

Don't worry if you are not able to make the live webinar—it will be recorded and available on our website a few days later. Please note that this event is geared specifically to parents and families and not intended for students. Your student will be invited to a Welcome to Tufts webinar just for them on June 1.

Additional webinars for parents and families will be added throughout the summer. Please refer to the parent/family page of the Orientation website for updates and registration information.
