Voices of Tufts

Voices of Tufts

Sponsored by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, Voices of Tufts is a visit program designed to introduce high school seniors to the ways students create a sense of belonging and community at Tufts University. Through conversations with current students, panel discussions with Tufts staff and faculty, opportunities to meaningfully connect with our Division of Student Diversity and Inclusion, and social programming, Voices aims to inform and empower students as they navigate the college search process. 

In October 2025, we will offer two Voices of Tufts programs:

  • Virtual program: Sunday, October 5, 2025
  • In-person program: Sunday, October 19 - Monday, October 20, 2025

Any rising senior who attends high school in the US is eligible to apply. While Voices has traditionally attracted participants with strong academic records from a variety of backgrounds – including but not limited to students of color, first generation college-bound students, LGBTQIA+ students, students from low-income backgrounds, students with disabilities, and students from rural communities – any student interested in learning more about the Tufts community is welcome to apply. Most importantly, we seek to invite high-achieving students who are kind, collaborative, civically-engaged, and interested in creating a more inclusive world.

Voices of Tufts is a selective program. To be considered for Voices, please complete the online application. Applications are due by July 21, 2025 at 11:59PM local time.

There is no cost to participate in Voices and, for the on-campus program, Tufts Admissions will arrange for transportation at no cost for students for whom the trip to campus would be a financial hardship. All program participants and applicants will have the application fee waived if they choose to apply to Tufts for first-year admission. 

For questions regarding Voices, please email voices@tufts.edu or call (617) 627-3170.

Center for STEM Diversity

The Center for STEM Diversity was created to help Tufts University address the need to increase diversity in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. We help coordinate diversity and inclusion programs in the sciences and engineering, and serve as an umbrella organization for various diversity programs and clubs on campus. Check out what we have to offer, and see how you can get involved to help us build an inclusive, diverse STEM program here at Tufts!

Finding Your Community at Tufts

"What I greatly appreciate about Tufts is the fact that as students, we aren’t placed in a box or one community we belong to. Due to the number of resources and opportunities presented at Tufts, any student will find it possible to belong to a place where they fit in at Tufts."

Tufts students are diverse in more ways than one

The energy of the Tufts community is due in no small part to the mix of people. Jumbos come from a range of backgrounds and bring diverse talents, opinions, interests, and experience to the table. It almost makes more sense to talk about "diversities" rather than "diversity."

Alvalyn’s “Why Tufts?”

"Before applying to universities, I did not think about how deeply I’d value the diversity initiatives at each institution. Please make sure to look into diversity efforts if that’s something of interest to you. It can make the college transition easier."

Dylan’s Experience with Black Art at Tufts

"My favorite part about this community is that they are not just people I sing with or act with. They are my friends. They want to support me in whatever I do. That is a beautiful thing about Tufts. There is so much room to explore and having a support system that looks like me, motivates me to keep trying new things every day."
