Tufts Alumni Council Nominations Open
Call for Nominations: Please consider joining the Tufts Alumni Council and submit your application (or one on behalf of another Jumbo) by February 1, 2025! Submit the form here.
As the governing body of the Tufts University Alumni Association, the Tufts Alumni Council (TAC) comprises about 90 members representing all schools of the university. There are additional Emeritus or retired members. Learn more about the Council.
Each year, usually from February to April, TAC manages alumni elections where Tufts alumni elect alumni to serve a 3-year term on the Council.
This is a wonderful opportunity to support alumni and student programs and services, such as alumni elections, regional alumni chapters and affinity groups, Alumni and Senior Awards, communications, alum giving, career services, and more.
We are one of the oldest college alumni associations in the United States and this is a great way to volunteer and deepen your leadership skills with other Tufts alumni. TAC welcomes Jumbo alumni of any Tufts School to serve on the Council.
Please reach out to Rachel Shaul, Assistant Director of Volunteer Engagement, with any questions (Rachel.Shaul@tufts.edu).
