Members of the Tufts community can get involved with the admissions process in many different ways. Through the Tufts Admissions Network, alumni, current students, parents, and friends of the university can help shape future classes of Jumbos.
Alumni Volunteers
Tufts Alumni are an important part of the admissions process and help the admissions office by conducting interviews with prospective students across the world.
- Alumni Interviewers help the admissions office by interviewing the next class of Jumbos and informing the decisions of prospective students by answering the questions that only alumni can answer. Click here to learn more about the program and time commitment.

Student Volunteers
Current students are a vital part of Tufts' admissions process.
- Seniors can become Senior Interviewers to meet Tufts applicants, foster their excitement about Tufts, and help the admissions team shape the next class of Jumbos. Senior interviewers conduct interviews locally, in their home towns, and over Skype.
Become a Senior Interviewer - The first face-to-face interaction many prospective students have with a member of the Tufts community is with a Tour Guide - these students are ambassadors for the university and introduce new students and their families to life at Tufts.
- Coffee Hosts This is your chance to chat about Tufts over coffee with a prospective student! As a coffee host, you will take a prospective student to an on-campus cafe and casually chat with them about Tufts. Coffee hosts are great ambassadors for the university and are able to give a great insight into life at Tufts. If you are interested, email Shoshana.Goldman@tufts.edu.
