Hello Jumbos,

This week we're sharing important information about Health and Wellness at Tufts. We're introducing you to three different departments: Health Service, Counseling and Mental Health, and Health Promotion.

Make sure you look out for special welcome messages later this week from Health Service and Counseling and Mental Health!

BFA and Combined Degree Students (including Transfer Students)! Make sure you also look for an invitation later today from your Advising Dean to schedule an advising appointment!

Finally, we want to remind all First-Year BA and BS Students that the Advising Survey is due this week! Remember to first watch the Liberal Arts or Engineering Academic Essential video!

First-Year BA and BS Students: Take the Advising Survey by June 8!
