Office of Undergraduate Admissions
The collective energy of the Tufts community stems from the mix of people on campus. Jumbos come from a range of backgrounds and bring diverse talents, interests, and perspectives to the table. It almost makes more sense to talk about "diversities" rather than "diversity." At Tufts, we also recognize how important it is for students to be able to connect with peers who share their experiences and identities through affinity organizations and gathering spaces.

Bridge to Engineering Success at Tufts (BEST)
In conjunction with the Office of Undergraduate Admissions and Tufts School of Engineering, the Center for STEM Diversity administers a six-week summer bridge program for incoming engineering students. The Bridge to Engineering Success at Tufts (BEST) program is designed to give students an opportunity to take two Tufts courses for credit while participating in academic and college life workshops that help first-year students make the transition from high school to college.

Voices of Tufts Diversity Experience
Sponsored by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, Voices of Tufts is a visit program designed to introduce high school seniors to the ways students create a sense of belonging and community at Tufts University. Through conversations with current students, panel discussions with Tufts staff and faculty, opportunities to meaningfully connect with our Division of Student Diversity and Inclusion, and social programming, Voices aims to inform and empower students as they navigate the college search process.
