This event will be held through a Zoom webinar and will be recorded. We hope to see you there!

Do you want to make a change in your community but feel unsure about where to begin? Learn from two students tackling two very different community organizing problems this semester. Grant Sullivan has been working to identify and build a constituency for access to critical resources after a climate disaster in rural Appalachia. Nikki Minsky has been mobilizing youth in partnership with a private jet expansion resistance campaign. Learn about the ins and outs of their projects on Wednesday, December 3, at noon.

Join the community for the first annual "Light Up the Quad" celebrating the holiday season and end of the semester on Wednesday, December 3, at 7:30 p.m. at the Academic Quad. All from the Tufts community are welcome for some food, music, and fun, as we "Light Up the Quad." This event is sponsored by the President's Office, Office for Campus Life, and Tufts Chaplaincy with a special thank you to Tufts Facility Services. Before the event, head over to Goddard Chapel for the annual Pax et Lux celebration at 5:30 p.m.

You are invited for JUMBO DAY at the SMFA Art Sale on Thursday, December 4, at 11 a.m.–3 p.m. at SMFA, 230 The Fenway, Boston. Jumbo Day is a special preview for Tufts students, faculty, staff, and alumni before the sale opens to the public. A shuttle is available from the Tufts campus. Now in its 47th year, the SMFA Art Sale is New England's largest public art sale, featuring more than 2,000 works from emerging and established artists and supporting student financial aid. Public sale days are December 5–7.

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.

The repairs to the Carmichael Dining Center are more extensive than previously anticipated, and we will not be able to resume service there until next semester. When you return to Tufts this afternoon (Sunday, November 30), Dewick will adopt Carmichael’s hours and will open at 7 a.m. Sunday to Friday and 8 a.m. on Saturdays and will close at 9:30 p.m. Sunday to Thursday and 9 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. All9Free at Dewick will continue to be available along with the gluten-free pantry.

Nominate an outstanding senior today, Tufts! The Wendell Phillips Award was established in 1896 and is given annually to a senior who demonstrates both marked ability as a speaker and a high sense of public responsibility. The winner offers a speech as part of Commencement, and the speech takes place during the Baccalaureate Ceremony. All students may nominate seniors to apply for this honor, and seniors may self-nominate. All nominations are due by Monday, December 8, at 11:59 p.m.

Welcome back from fall break!

From all of us on the A&S, SMFA, and SOE Advising Teams, we hope you had a restful and happy fall break.
