The Tufts Community Symposium is an opportunity to engage with our community and university colleagues, learn from one another, and explore ideas for research and education partnerships. This year, we are focused on building solidarity and support during this challenging time.
We are pleased to announce that Georgia Katsoulomitis, J86, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Law Reform Institute (MLRI), is our plenary keynote speaker. An attorney with extensive experience in public policy, nonprofit management and development, and strategic communications, she has served as Executive Director since 2011, growing and deepening MLRI’s impact. Read more about Georgia Katsoulomitis.
As always, we will start the morning with a networking breakfast, followed by a plenary session and table discussions. After the plenary, we offer optional break-out sessions, co-led by Tufts faculty and community partners, and then we will hold the TCRC Student Research Presentations.
The symposium is co-sponsored by the Office of the President, Government and Community Relations, and the Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life.
