Leadership
Diana Chigas has returned to her faculty role at the Fletcher School after serving as International Officer and Associate Provost for seven years. We thank Diana for her leadership.
While we search for a new Senior International Officer, please contact Christine Hollenhorst with any questions related to global activities at Tufts.
The Global Advisory Council (GAC) is an advisory body to the Provost and is chaired by the Senior International Officer. Its charge is to provide guidance and support on university-wide priorities and initiatives for expanding and deepening Tufts’ global engagement, as well as enhancing coherence in the university’s global presence.
