The Color of Us (CoU) was created by a group of black Tufts staff members on the Boston campus to address the lack of diversity and inclusion resources available to black students, staff, and faculty on the Tufts Medical Campus. CoU aims to collaborate with Medford-based Tufts organizations to foster cross-campus inclusion initiatives that celebrate all black identities represented in the Tufts community. 

Pa’lante is a group for faculty, staff and administrators who identify as Latin American, Caribbean, Latinx and Hispanic (Latinx+) to come together as a community. We understand that the Latinx+ community is not a monolith and we welcome Latinidad in all its forms, from English or Spanish only, Spanglish, bilingual, Creole or Nahuatl to the smell of tostones, tamales, or freshly brewed tinto. We aim to foster connections between Latinx+ professionals across the Tufts community via social events, mentoring, advocacy and other professional development opportunities. Pa’lante (short for “para adelante”) is a colloquial Spanish phrase, particularly in Puerto Rico, which means "onward" or "forward." This group hopes to honor our cultures while moving us forward as a community of professionals.

For more information, please contact Marvin Casasola, Director of the Latinx Center, at marvin.casasola@tufts.edu.
