WELCOME TO THE HERD, JUMBOS!

MAY 2, 2018

Hello Jumbos!

Welcome to Tufts! We're excited to have you as a new student and can't wait to meet you this fall!

You'll be making your way to campus before you know it. Ahead of your arrival, we're going to be writing each week this summer with important reminders, key updates, and introductions to staff and resources. Be sure to check your email each Tuesday afternoon, and contact us any time with questions.

Make sure you also enjoy the rest of your senior year!

This Week's News and Announcements

This week, we're introducing some of the departments and staff members that you'll be meeting when you first get to campus.

Orientation

Orientation 2018 is Wednesday, August 29 - Monday, September 3. It takes a big team to plan and prepare. Our professional staff and student Orientation Coordinators will be on campus all summer long getting ready for your arrival. They'll also be on hand during Orientation Week, along with members of our student Residential Life staff, who will help introduce you to everything Tufts!

The Student Life Team

Our Orientation Team will get you started when you first arrive, but there are lots of other faculty and staff members at Tufts who are looking forward to meeting you!

Jumbos, meet your Student Life Team:

Dean of Student Affairs Office - We're your central hub for co-curricular resources at Tufts. Our office is a great place to start if you're unsure who to contact with a question or concern.
Academic Advising - We are your central hub for academic matters at Tufts. We're here to help you register for courses, find academic direction, and answer questions about academic policies.
Office for Student Success and Advising - We're an office dedicate to first- and second-year students. We offer academic advice and connect students with co-curricular opportunities. We also have a bunch of special programs and resources!
Office for Residential Life and Learning - We're so much more than where you live. We offer residentially based programs throughout the year and are one of the largest student employers on campus.
Office for Campus Life - We support over 300 student groups at Tufts, and we work with Student Government on initiatives and programming.

Here's What's Coming Up Next . . .

Places and Spaces

Next week, we're going to introduce you to different places and spaces on campus and in the greater Boston area. We'll visit the residence halls and take a tour of some keys spots on campus!

Pre-Orientation Registration

Pre-Orientation programs are an opportunity to get involved on campus early, meet upper-class mentors, gain leadership skills, and meet other students with similar interests.

We'll be opening registration for "Pre-O" on May 22. If you'd like to participate in one of our 8 programs, be sure to register by June 6. (Don't worry, we'll remind you about registration on and before May 22.)

New Student Checklist

You'll have a few responsibilities over the summer, and many of them can be completed online. Our New Student Checklist 2018 will be posted on May 22, and it will help you stay on track over the summer. Keep a look-out for this important summer "to-do" list. It will include the Housing Survey for all First-Year students and the Advising Survey for First-Year BA/BS students, both of which open on May 22.

If you'd like to look ahead, you can explore last year's New Student Checklist. Just remember that yours will look a little different.
