John Morris, Director of Athletics
Dear Parents and Families,
As we approach the hustle and bustle of the holidays and are faced with a season of unending commitments and multi-tasking, I am reminded of the unique and extraordinarily impressive talents of our Tufts student-athletes.  These young men and women achieve at the highest levels both in the classroom and on the playing field. They are the consummate masters of “the balancing act,” juggling immense academic and athletic commitments, holding leadership positions in our clubs and organizations, performing service and outreach in the community and engaging in research opportunities on campus. If your student is an athlete at Tufts, you have a lot to be proud of. And if they aren’t, I hope they connect with the Athletics Department at some point in their Tufts career, whether that be in a physical education course, at our Fitness Center, or at a home game as a fan.
