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.
Become an Alumni Interviewer or, if you are already an Alumni Interviewer, Access the TAN Portal to claim interviews. - PASSPORT Mentors connect with an incoming Jumbo from another country to help make them feel at home in the United States and, more importantly, in the Tufts community.

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. Apply to become a Tour Guide.
- Lunch Hosts work with tour guides and admissions officers to show prospective students what life as a student is really like at Tufts. Plus, they get free lunch at either Carmichael or Dewick! Applications for Spring 2018 will be posted in December.
Parent Volunteers
Parents of current and former students also help with the admissions process. Parents can:
