Campus Culture

Tufts students describe the University's campus culture.

Our Mission

Tufts Student Life is committed to creating a dynamic, respectful, and kind community that prepares students to live with dignity and purpose in a complex and diverse world. By giving students the opportunity to learn how to navigate complexity, manage difficult situations, and make challenging decisions, we inspire them to discover new things about themselves, others, and the world around them every day.

Sharing Community Values

Student Life accomplishes its mission in and through a unique community that shares certain core values. At Tufts, our community members seek standing and strive for contribution as:

  • Responsible community members sharing experiences that develop empathy, connection, and respect for each other 

  • Relationship and community builders and supporters

  • Curious, creative, and contributing Citizens of the World

  • Inclusive in words and action; embracing Tufts’ DEIJ programs and approach

  • Committed to Social Justice and Restorative Practices
