Join the StAAR Center for StAAR and CMHS: Overcoming Overwhelm on Friday, March 27, at 12:15–1:15 p.m. in Dowling Hall Milmore Room. We will discuss ways to manage feeling overwhelmed with the mental, social, and emotional load that we carry every day.

Designed for those looking to break into finance, this Boot Camp bridges the gap between academics and the real world by teaching you how to build models the way it's done on the job.

On Saturday, March 28, at 10 a.m., join us for a procession from Aidekman Arts Center to Goddard Chapel. Developed in 2020, Keep Their Heads Ringin' lays bare the violence of institutional racism. Reconsidered for Tufts University and its belltower in Goddard Chapel in 2025 in partnership with Tufts University Chaplaincy, the sound installation invites visitors to move though campus together under this soundtrack and newly composed score by sound artist Austin Fisher, asking us what freedom truly means.

Join the Fletcher Energy and Environment Club (FLEEC) and the International Negotiation and Conflict Resolution (INCR) Club for a climate change negotiation simulation on Friday, April 3, at 3–6 p.m. at Mugar Hall Room 200 (The Fletcher School).
