Making Connections
We offer opportunities to build meaningful relationships, find community, and feel more connected at Tufts.
Jumbo Connect (formerly Project Connect)
Want to form deeper connections, build friendships, and meet new people? Sign-up for Jumbo Connect! Jumbo Connect groups are peer-led groups of 4-6 students that meet for one-hour long weekly sessions for 6 weeks. Participate in activities, dive into conversation, and learn more about yourself and fellow Jumbos!
More information regarding Fall 2026 enrollment will be available here soon. Contact Erica.Schonman@tufts.edu with questions.
What to Expect: Each session, you will be given several thought-provoking questions to guide the conversation. They start light and get more personal as time goes on. Of course, you can skip any you don’t want to answer.
Examples:
- "What do you know now that you wish you had known when you were younger?”
- "What important decision have you based largely on your gut feelings?"
- "Five years from now, what will you wish you had spent more or less time on in the present?"
Grad Connect
Same as Jumbo Connect, we also offer Grad Connect for Graduate students. Sign up for Grad Connect to form deeper connections, build friendships, and meet new people. Grad Connect groups are peer-led groups of 4-6 students that meet for one-hour long weekly sessions for 6 weeks. Participate in activities, dive into conversation, and learn more about yourself and fellow grad students outside of your cohort!
