Global Tufts Month
March is Global Tufts Month—a university‑wide celebration dedicated to exploring Global Perspectives on Climate Change. Across Tufts, students, faculty, staff, alumni, and partners are working to tackle the climate crisis, understand its impact on communities near and far, and develop solutions that make a difference. This month is your opportunity to join that effort.
Events throughout March will showcase inspiring work across fields such as energy, technology, health, politics, culture, and the arts. Whether you’re passionate about climate justice, curious about global sustainability, or simply looking for new ways to get involved, you’ll find something that sparks your interest.
Global Tufts Month is a chance to connect with peers, learn from experts, share your ideas, and contribute to a more sustainable and equitable future—on campus and around the world.
About Global Tufts Month
Beginning in 2019 and occurring annually, Global Tufts Month has evolved into a month-long series of activities and events across all of Tufts’ schools and centers, designed to:
- Showcase the breadth and depth of global engagement by faculty, students and staff in education, research and policy and civic engagement work.
- Celebrate and advance Tufts' commitment to global engagement, international exchange and global learning.
- Promote connection and dialogue across schools and across disciplines on global issues.
Events hosted throughout Global Tufts Month explore and showcase the work that is being done to relieve the global burden these challenges pose to well-being in all facets of life—from health, psychology, and politics, to development, education, science and technology, culture, and the arts. We welcome events that highlight efforts at Tufts, both individual and in collaboration with others, to advance and protect all of humanity around the world and to facilitate dialogue and learning on these issues across national and cultural boundaries.
The Office of the Vice Provost for Education organizes and coordinates Global Tufts Month. We invite all Tufts departments, centers, institutes, units, student organizations and groups to host events to celebrate Global Tufts Month.
Events can include conferences, speakers, panel discussions, workshops, seminars, performances, film showings, cultural events, music, social and networking events, presentations and lectures, information sessions on programs, etc. Events can be organized specifically for Global Month, and already planned events can be scheduled to take place during that week.
Events should be posted through the main Tufts Calendar, and will be displayed on both the Tufts event calendar and the Global Tufts website. Select the tag for "Global Engagement" in the Subject category.
The Office of the Vice Provost for Education offers funding for events during Global Tufts Month. Any Tufts faculty, staff, or student can apply for funding on behalf of themselves or an organization. Selected proposals will receive funding in advance of Global Tufts Month. The maximum amount of a mini-grant is $500.
