Tisch Summer Fellows: Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine

In addition to the wide range of positions available to TSF applicants from across Tufts, Tisch College is pleased to partner with the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine to offer TSF opportunities specifically for veterinary students. Developed in collaboration with Cummings staff and faculty, positions are designed to complement veterinary students' learning while allowing them to contribute to animal health and have a positive impact on public wellbeing.  

Fellows will spend approximately 30 hours/week with a partner organization during the 10-week program period of June 3, 2024 through August 9, 2024 and receive a living allowance of $5,250.  All program elements including events, mentoring, and reflection are incorporated into TSF for all participants.
