We’re excited to join forces with the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in 2016. Welcome to Tufts!

School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, to Become Part of Tufts University in 2016 BOSTON and MEDFORD/SOMERVILLE, Mass. (December 22, 2015)—The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), and Tufts University have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) outlining the transition of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts (SMFA) to Tufts University. The parties’ agreement in principle has received initial approval from the Boards of Trustees of both institutions, creating a new educational model that would make Tufts one of only a few universities in the United States with an arts program affiliated with a major museum.

A few Tufts alumni and an undergrad made it onto Forbes magazine’s “30 under 30” list. We’re so proud!

Tufts Talent on the Rise Forbes magazine has named two Tufts alumni and one undergraduate student to its “30 Under 30” list, its annual roster of the “brightest young entrepreneurs, breakout talents and change agents” in 20 fields. Honorees were nominated through online submissions and chosen by leaders in their fields.

Have you had a chance to visit the newly updated Memorial Steps on our Medford/Somerville campus?

A New Life for Memorial Steps If the Memorial Steps on the Medford/Somerville campus could speak, they would tell a thousand stories—of Tufts men and women who served in the armed forces, from the battlefields of the Civil War to today’s conflicts in the Middle East. Now they also tell a story about how Tufts commemorates its history. Combining engineering and craftsmanship with admiration for the military service of alumni, a complete renovation finished at the end of December has given new life to the campus landmark.

It's easy to see why so many students applied for the first-year undergraduate class here at Tufts!

The preliminary count for the Class of 2020 at the schools of Arts and Sciences and Engineering was 20,160 as of Jan. 14, according to Lee Coffin, dean of admissions. It’s the fifth time in six years that Tufts has set or tied the record for most applications for first-year undergraduate study here, and a 6 percent increase over the past two years.

These Tufts students joined the New York Times' "teen contributers" list with the publication of their crossword puzzle

Acrostic Achievement Sophomores Duncan Kimmel and Clara Williamson had high hopes when they mailed their crossword puzzle to the New York Times this summer. Their first two tries during freshman year had been rejected, but they felt they’d hit their stride with a puzzle built on a theme of hit television shows. And the puzzle had had an auspicious birth, with the first clue, “House of Cards,” leading quickly to the answer HALLMARK STORE.

It's the perfect weather for curling up in a blanket with a new book. Here are some recommendations from the Tufts community

Books for Long Winter Nights In this age of instant communication, sound bites, 140-character missives and disappearing Snapchat messages, books are holding their own, and maybe even growing in popularity, whether printed on the page or viewed on our smartphones. With suggestions from the Tufts community ranging from fiction by Philip K. Dick and Kurt Vonnegut to graphic novels and mysteries, and from a meditation on end-of-life care to same-sex marriage in early America, we’ve got plenty to recommend.
