Global Tufts Initiatives
In addition to serving as a university resource for global activities, the Global Tufts team oversee initiatives including Scholars at Risk at Tufts University, Global Tufts Month, the Tufts Delegation for United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP), and International Affiliations and Agreements.
Tufts Delegation for United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP)
Each year, Tufts sends a delegation to the United Nations Climate Change Conference. Through their status as observers, Tufts delegates gain important insight into the discussions that frame global climate change policy and action. This initiative is facilitated by the Fletcher School, the Center for International Environment and Resource Policy (CIERP), and the Office of the Provost.
Ribbons of Impact
Ribbons of Impact combine academic study with immersive, real-world experiences to help students explore complex issues from multiple perspectives. Through interdisciplinary learning and engagement with communities and organizations, students deepen their understanding of global challenges and strengthen their ability to create meaningful impact.
Global Tufts Month
Global Tufts Month is a month-long series of events across all of Tufts’ schools and centers, designed to:
- Showcase the breadth of global engagement by faculty, students and staff in education, research and policy and civic engagement work.
- Celebrate Tufts' commitment to global engagement, international exchange and global learning.
- Promote connection and dialogue across schools and across disciplines on global issues.
