LCS Projects & Upcoming Events

At the end of each academic year, LCS hosts its Senior Celebration, honoring our graduating seniors and thanking them for the work they contributed to LCS and neighboring communities throughout their Tufts journey. The event includes a lunch for attendees, and graduating seniors receive cords to wear at graduation in recognition of their contributions. It's also a chance to look ahead, as outgoing seniors pass the torch to the next generation of LCS leaders.

2026 LCS Senior Celebration Program

LCS Day of Service was held on March 27, 2026! Tufts students, staff, and alumni engaged in meaningful community service opportunities on campus and throughout Medford and Somerville. Service sites were both on-campus and off-campus, focused on environmental sustainability, education, and social justice. This year, around 150 volunteers came together across 11 service sites, dedicating their day to the neighborhoods that welcome us year-round. It's one small way Tufts students can return the generosity Medford and Somerville show us every day. Held every spring, the Day of Service is an annual tradition, so mark your calendars and look forward to getting involved next year!

Halloween on the Hill is an annual tradition that welcomes families and children from the Medford and Somerville communities to Tufts University for an afternoon of Halloween fun. Hosted by LCS in collaboration with Tufts Athletics, the Fall 2025 event took place on October 19 and featured festive activities, candy, and a costume parade for kids and families to enjoy. 

Community Day is an annual Tufts tradition that celebrates arts, innovation and community. Every year, members of the Medford and Somerville communities join us on campus, along with students, staff, and faculty for a day of live entertainment, family friendly activities, and food. Community partners (including non-profits and municipal resource organizations) as well as student organizations often table on this day, giving members of the community at large an idea of the diversity of opportunities found in Medford and Somerville.

LCS collaborated with JumboVote to host a nonpartisan civic participation event to encourage voting, political engagement, and community building. Participants learned how to fill out a ballot, discussed why voting is important and learned about voting history. 

The Somerville Homeless Coalition and Tufts Jumbos for Non-Profits hosted a Sleep-out event to learn about and raise awareness of hunger and homelessness. After educational programming developed in collaboration with community partners, participants slept outside on the Residential Quad at Tufts in solidarity with the unhoused community of Somerville.
