Have you ever experienced New Hampshire during a presidential primary season? During the Tufts Campaign School 2024, you'll visit the Granite State in January for a day trip with your cohort to experience campaign events, meet with candidates and staffers, and understand what makes New Hampshire's political climate so unique. Do you have questions and want to learn more? Join a Tufts Campaign School Information Session on Thursday, October 19, at 12 noon. Lunch will be provided.

Fiction has the power to stir empathy, broaden a reader's worldview, and move readers toward action. Author Julie Carrick Dalton will discuss her latest novel at this installment of the Environmental Studies Program's Hoch Cunningham Lecture Series on Thursday, October 19, at 12 noon at the Curtis Hall Multipurpose Room. The Last Beekeeper is a near-future story about a beekeeper and his daughter as the world's pollinator population dies off. Dalton will share examples from the growing canon of Climate Fiction to illustrate how storytelling can broaden the ways we engage with climate science, hope, and activism.

Are you unsure about how your major choice will impact your future plans, job options, and life after Tufts?

Students and Student Organizations can submit events to JumboLife! Add your event by Thursday at 12 noon each week, and we'll include it in the Jumbo Digest on Sunday.

Seniors, sign up now for your free Senior Portrait session. Photographers will be on campus the weeks of October 16 and October 23 in the Campus Center Room 112. Having your senior portrait taken is the only way to get your photo into the portrait section of the 2024 Senior Memory Book. Seniors and families will also have the opportunity to purchase photo packages.

You wouldn't give your debit card to just anyone to access your funds, would you? That's why banks and other institutions have implemented stronger verification to ensure it is really you who is initiating a transaction. Effective November 1, Tufts will implement a verification step for DUO for both push and phone notifications. Verifying your DUO authentication increases our security and will help protect you and secure your data from unauthorized access that you didn't initiate.
