Mission:
The office of Government and Community Relations (GCR) creates the bridge between Tufts University and its host communities: Boston, Grafton, Medford and Somerville. We develop and maintain relationships with our neighbors, local organizations, and elected officials to help Tufts University fulfill its mission to make a positive impact on the communities that surround our campuses.

What we do:

Build and maintain relationships with our neighbors
Advise university faculty, staff and students about scholarship, research and volunteer opportunities within our host communities
Manage the Tufts Community Appeal, our internal giving campaign, and Tufts Community Grants, a program that provides grants for nonprofit organizations
Host events on-campus including Tufts Community Day, the Tufts Classic, Tufts Summer Movie night and community gatherings
Work with local stakeholders on campus development and public projects
Support local nonprofit organizations with in-kind and financial contributions

To our campus neighbors in Boston, Grafton, Medford, and Somerville: happy holidays from all of us at Tufts University!

Please note, the university will be closed from December 24th through January 3rd, except for essential services. Should you need assistance during that time, please contact the Tufts University Police Department at 617-627-3030. ... See MoreSee Less
