On Tuesday, November 4, at 5 p.m. in Olin Center Room 012, join us for an Italian Movie Night! We will be showing The Tale of Re Granchio [Re Granchio], a film by Alessio Rigo De Righi and Matteo Zoppis. The event comes with pizza and a side of English subtitles. If you have questions, contact Rose Facchini (rose.facchini@tufts.edu).

Join Tisch College, JumboVote, Tufts Democrats, and Tufts Republicans for an Election Night Watch Party on Tuesday, November 4, at 8 p.m. Swing by for a supportive space for those watching election results come in for Medford and Somerville local elections, as well as elections around the country, including but not limited to New Jersey, Virginia, California, Pennsylvania, and New York!

Join us on the evening of Wednesday, November 5, to learn more about an exciting five-and-a-half-week summer program, "Linking Language, Culture, and Tropical Biology," in Costa Rica. Students will study intensive Spanish in San José and conduct hands-on tropical biology research in La Selva and San Gerardo to earn a total of six Tufts credits. Information sessions are at 5:45 and 6:30 p.m. in Olin Center Room 011. Hope to see you there!

Join us for a performance by vocalist and electronic artist Charmaine Lee on Thursday, November 6, at 6 p.m. in SMFA Anderson Auditorium. Admission is free, but seating is limited. Charmaine Lee is a New York-based vocalist and electronics artist whose work explores the extremes of presence, intimacy, and noise. Known for her fierce improvisational approach and use of extended vocal techniques, she has collaborated with artists including Ikue Mori, Conrad Tao, and the JACK Quartet. Her solo sets use feedback, vocal fragments, and real-time processing to create live compositions that are as fragile as they are ferocious. Charmaine Lee’s solo performances are visceral sonic rituals. Using voice, feedback, and electronics, she sculpts volatile, deeply embodied soundscapes that slip between intimacy and intensity. Drawing from noise, improvisation, and extended vocal technique, her sets are unpredictable, immersive, and alive with risk.

Join us on Thursday, November 6, at 6:30 p.m. for a film screening of My Love Affair with Marriage, a Latvian animated film, followed by a talk with writer/director Signe Baumane.

On Friday, November 7, at 11 a.m.–2 p.m. in Curtis Hall Multipurpose Room 101, join Groundwork Somerville, CORE Fellows, and Office of the Vice Provost for Education (OVPE) to translate international climate commitments into practical, place-based solutions, grounding global goals into our community. You don't need to be a climate expert. Bring your ideas and passion for change! We will do the following:

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.

Majors Month Continues

Support for major exploration and declaration in Arts and Sciences and Engineering continues the week of November 3. View the full schedule of Majors Month events!

Arts and Sciences Majors and Minors Exploration Fair: Tuesday, November 4, at 11 a.m.–3 p.m. (Breed Memorial Hall)

Speak with departments and explore majors/minors available to Tufts students. Learn more about spring 2026 course offerings! Connect with your A&S, SOE, and SMFA advising teams and other Tufts resources.

Entering the Second Week of the Advising Period

Please remember to reach out and schedule an appointment with your Major Advisor, Pre-Major Advisor, or designated Senior Academic Advisor to plan for your spring 2026 courses and to have your Registration HOLD lifted. Spring 2026 courses and enrollment times are currently available on SIS.

Do you have questions for your A&S, Engineering, or SMFA advising team? Students can stop by drop-in advising with any quick questions about advising, courses, or academic requirements.

Please be aware of the upcoming MBTA planned work on the Green Line that may impact your travel between Medford/Somerville campus and SMFA.

Green Line: No train service between Medford/Tufts, Union Square, and Park Street, from Tuesday, November 4, at 8 p.m. through Thursday, November 13, for track work. The Tufts SMFA Shuttle runs between the Medford/Somerville campus and SMFA in Fenway. This is a reliable alternative to reach Boston during the service disruption.

Your feedback helps us improve food quality, service, and overall dining experiences. Be sure to complete the sections for the dining locations you visit most often; your input helps to enhance specific services across campus. The survey closes Friday, November 8. Participants may choose to be entered to win JumboCash prizes!
