Dear Parents and Families,
Happy New Year! As we approach the beginning of the spring semester, I’m excited to be writing to you from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts on Tufts’ newest campus. Located in the historic Fenway and Mission Hill neighborhoods of Boston, the SMFA became part of the Tufts School of Arts and Sciences this past July 1st. Closely affiliated with the venerable Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, since their co-founding in the late 19th century, the SMFA since 1945 has staffed all the studio art courses for Tufts undergraduates on the Medford/Somerville campus, while the School of Arts and Sciences has hosted countless SMFA students in its liberal arts and sciences courses. Now that the SMFA is actually a school within Tufts, though, our relationship is much richer and more deliberate—and exciting faculty and student collaborations are popping up all over the place.
