Dean's Medal

At Tufts University, the Dean’s Medal is a way to honor and celebrate our alumni, volunteers, and friends. It is one of four types of medals that the university awards, and the only medal awarded by deans of the individual schools within Tufts. The Dean’s Medal may be awarded to show appreciation for loyal service, to acknowledge major contributions, to honor those whose ideas or discoveries have been important to the university, or to recognize any other actions that benefit a school of the university.

These individuals are selected because of their accomplishments, service, and leadership in the engineering community, and they represent the wide diversity of our field.  We hope they will inspire and encourage our students.
