Remembering Deborah Coughlin |

|
Dear Student,
It is with great sadness that I share the news that our dear friend and long-time colleague, Deborah Coughlin, A16P, passed away on Tuesday, October 28, after an extended illness.
Debbie has served as the Career Center’s Administrative Coordinator since 2006. It is impossible to capture all the ways she positively influenced our team—from handling everyday tasks with friendly efficiency to organizing process improvements that continue to benefit us today. We will always be grateful for Debbie’s sense of humor, kindness, and her talent for keeping us organized and on task.
Debbie’s unwavering dedication to students, alumni, fellow Jumbo parents, colleagues, and everyone she encountered through the Career Center and across the Tufts community set the gold standard. We will miss her dearly.
Please join me as we extend our heartfelt condolences to Debbie’s family and loved ones.
