Dear Parents and Families,
Greetings from the LGBT Center! My name is Hope Denese Freeman, and I am the new Director here as of March 2017. If you haven’t yet made it to the LGBT Center during a visit to Tufts, I invite you to stop by Bolles House on College Avenue on the Medford/Somerville campus.
The 2017-2018 academic year will be my first full year at Tufts, and I could not be more excited about working with the incoming class of 2021. I have a background working in the non-profit sector, collaborating with community-based organizations in Boston and providing technical assistance to state-wide agencies in Massachusetts. My previous work focused on how adults can better advocate for LGBTQ students and also teach students to advocate for themselves. First and foremost, I am a youth worker, which means I prioritize student needs and find ways to make sure all students feel safe and supported on campus.
