Voices of Tufts Diversity Experience

Voices of Tufts
Connect with Students
Voices FAQs

The Voices of Tufts Diversity Experience is a two-day program sponsored by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, designed to introduce high school seniors to diversity and community at Tufts University. Through conversations with current students, panel discussions with Tufts staff and faculty, opportunities to meaningfully connect with our identity-based resource centers, and social programming, Voices aims to inform and empower students as they navigate the college admissions process. 

For 2022, we will be hosting two virtual weekends of Voices of Tufts Diversity Experience programming: 

  • October 8 - October 9
  • October 22 - October 23

Any high school senior who attends school in the United States is eligible to apply to Voices. While Voices has traditionally attracted participants from underrepresented 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 about diversity and community at Tufts is invited to apply. We seek primarily 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 program participants and applicants will have the application fee waived if they choose to apply to Tufts for first-year admission. 

Please note that program details and modalities are subject to change in light of the evolving COVID-19 global pandemic; any program updates will be posted to this website.

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

 


 

Applying to Voices  

The deadline to apply to the Fall 2022 Voices program has passed.

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!"

Community at Voices and Tufts

"I found friends, communities, and beauty supply stores that have become a safe haven for me. I have found a community of beautiful individuals that has made Tufts one of the best places for me. A place where my voice is heard amongst the herd - appreciated and listened to."
