Hello Tufts Jumbo,
This week, we're introducing the Group of Six. These six centers are for all students interested in thinking about social identities and how they impact our lives and the world. Students of all identities are welcome in each center. We hope to see you at a program, event, or lecture soon!
We also want to remind you that all incoming students are required to complete the AlcoholEdu and Haven online training programs by August 18! (That's this Friday!)

This Week's News and AnnouncementsAfricana Center
The Africana Center was founded in 1969 to meet the needs and concerns of Tufts students of African descent. The Center supports the academic mission of the University by providing students access to a full range of academic, cultural, and social resources and programs. It provides culturally focused lectures, workshops, concerts, and films that reflect and celebrate the intellectual tradition of Black people in the Diaspora.

Asian American CenterThe Asian American Center, founded in 1983, is a resource for the university and the Asian/Asian American communities, and it fosters a supportive environment for the academic and personal development of students through its year-round programs and services. The Center recognizes the mono- and multiracial East Asian, Southeast Asian, and South Asian peoples, cultures, and intersecting social identities present in the Tufts community, and advocates for students to ensure a successful college experience.

International Center
Since the 1950's, the International Center has facilitated college-wide intercultural exchange. The Center staff works to raise intercultural awareness, to increase the knowledge of immigration laws affecting the Tufts international community, and to advocate a campus climate that respects cultural differences. The Center staff provides individual counseling, immigration advising, and visa documents for students, faculty, and scholars from over 100 countries.

Latino CenterThe Latino Center officially opened in October of 1993 to serve the needs of the Latino student population on the Tufts campus. Its primary objectives are to provide a supportive environment for its students, to foster pride in the Latino culture, and to serve as a resource to the entire Tufts community. The Latino Center, through its programs, is committed to helping build a strong Latino community at Tufts where students feel valued and supported.

LGBT Center
Founded in 1992, the LGBT Center offers a space for all students, faculty, and staff to explore their unique relationship to gender and sexuality through personal, political, or academic lenses. The Center provides programming, advising, and social opportunities for queer students and allies, and aims to improve the experience of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people at Tufts, as well as to provide campus-wide education about sexuality and gender.
| |
Women's Center
The Women's Center, founded in 1972, is a space open to all students interested in topics and issues broadly related to the experience of women and gender. We particularly investigate gender at the intersections of other identities such as race, sexuality, socioeconomic status, and citizenship status. While the Women's Center's primary purpose is to serve undergraduate students, we also offer information, events, and resources for graduate students, faculty and staff, alumni, and parents.

Meet CAREIn addition to managing the Haven online training program, the Center for Awareness, Resource and Education (CARE) provides all Tufts students with confidential support, resources, and ongoing training related to sexual misconduct prevention and bystander intervention. The CARE team works closely with individual students, student groups, and faculty and staff members to build a culture of consent, promote healthy communication and sexuality, and provide students with concerns related to sexual misconduct with information about resources on an off campus.
