Did you know the Health Service secure patient portal has a new home?

If you saved tufts.medicatconnect.com to access the Patient Portal, the link is no longer functional. Please use http://go.tufts.edu/portal from now on. Why the change?  We have moved to a more secure login connection.  There is little difference on the user side but the authentication should be easier.

Tufts Pollinator Ambassadors Program

The Tufts Pollinator Initiative promotes pollinator conservation in the greater Boston area. We are looking to expand our outreach capacity by training Tufts students how to raise awareness for pollinators through community engagement.
The 8-week Pollinator Ambassadors program will help build your skills in urban conservation, community engagement, public speaking, land stewardship, and peer leadership. In turn, you will help us build our capacity for engaging diverse community members as participants in biodiversity conservation.
Pollinator Ambassadors is open to any current Tufts student, including seniors soon to be graduating and graduate students. We seek motivated, curious, enthusiastic individuals to join our team.
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis starting December 2, hard deadline December 10. Applicants will be notified of their status in the program by early January. This is a professional development opportunity. There is no stipend for participation in the program.
