Voices of Tufts Diversity Experience

Voices Diversity Fly-in
Connect with Students
Voices FAQ

The Voices of Tufts Diversity Experience, sponsored by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, is a two-day program designed to introduce high school seniors to the diversity and community at Tufts University. The 2022 Voices of Tufts Diversity Experience will take place in October; dates and modalities are still being finalized, but we anticipate being able to offer in-person programming. 

While Voices has traditionally attracted participants from underrepresented backgrounds – including but not limited to students of color, first generation college-bound students, LGBTQ students, students from low-income backgrounds, students with disabilities, and students from rural communities – any student interested in learning about diversity on the Tufts campus is welcome to apply. Most importantly, we seek to invite students who are kind, collaborative, civically-engaged, and interested in creating a more inclusive world.

There is no cost to participate in Voices and all applicants to the program will have their Tufts application fee waived.

Stay tuned for the application details and deadline for the 2022 Voices program!

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


Required application materials:  

  • Voices application form - this includes two short answer questions about your interest in Tufts and your favorite high school class (200 words or less for each question)
  • High school transcript - we will accept official and unofficial transcripts, submitted by you or your school counselor or college counselor

Melanated and Celebrated: Black Homecoming

"It was so nice to see all the alumni, especially the ones from groups I am in such as the Caribbean Student Organization, and S-Factor, Tufts all male vocal experience that sings music of the African Diaspora. I got to inquire about what their experiences were like when they were on campus and see how much life at Tufts for black students has evolved."

A Guide to Fly-In Programs

"Seriously apply to any school that you are even slightly interested in. I did not have the financial resources to visit college campuses far from my hometown, so college fly-in programs became my way of finding out whether or not a school was the right fit."

Finding my Voice through UIJ

"Being part of the e-board taught me that I have a voice and that my voice is a powerful tool to create meaningful, intentional, impactful change."

All Aboard the Capen Express!

"One thing I’ve always loved about Tufts is how creative people are and how we can come together to make events that are fun and chill. The Capen Express was a time I will fondly remember and hopefully future Capen residents continue this new tradition!"

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."

Center for STEM Diversity

The Center for STEM Diversity was created in order to help Tufts University address the need to increase diversity in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields. We help coordinate all of the efforts in STEM diversity in the sciences and engineering, and serve as an umbrella organization for the 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!

Fly-in Programs And Why You Need To Apply

"Students can walk on the grounds that they are considering, they can talk to current students and professors, and most importantly, they can try the food. But unless you live near your dream college, it can be difficult to visit and to experience the campus firsthand. Many students simply cannot afford to travel to the other side of the country and this is where college fly-in programs step in."

The Next Big Step as a First-Gen Student

"This blog post encompasses only a small sliver of what’s in store for you in a couple of months. Remember to trust in yourself, don’t pack too much, make new connections, and have fun!"
