April Open House (AOH) |
|
|
|
On-campus AOH events are scheduled for 3 days later this
month – April 18th, April 24th
& April 25th. Overnight opportunities
hosted by current Tufts students coincide with each of
the AOH days, beginning on the evening before each of
the events (4/17, 4/23 & 4/24).
Our goal via the AOH programming is to empower each
prospective student with the context to identify with
Tufts, and to embrace the university as a potential
home. An AOH experience allows our admitted students
and families the opportunity to explore Tufts’ community
and its culture in real time. Our visitors have a
day-long pass to live and learn like a Tufts student.
The AOH programming makes it comfortable for prospective
students and parents to engage Tufts on their own terms,
and to understand it through their own lens. We make it
easy for our visitors to know current students, to
engage professors, and to witness first hand the
intellectual, cultural, social and extracurricular
vibrancy of the Tufts community.
Please do what you can to promote our AOH events to the
admitted students that are on your TAAP docket.

Admitted Student Receptions |
|
Beginning next week six off campus Spring Receptions
will be held for admitted students. This year, the
number of Spring Receptions organized by the
admissions office has been pared down as a way to
encourage more of our admitted students to visit Tufts
and attend on-campus AOH events. The receptions
organized by the admissions office and hosted by various
alumni will be held in: New York City; Chevy Chase, MD;
Chicago, IL; Palo Alto, CA; London, England; Los
Angeles, CA. In addition, a handful of TAAP committees
beyond those affiliated with the above events, have
graciously decided to host their own admitted student
gatherings. Whether attending an admitted student
reception or getting in touch with your admitted
interviewees, any effort you make to help Tufts capture
the minds and hearts of our admitted students is
tremendously appreciated.

TAAP Survey |
|
Later this month you will each receive a link to an online
survey about TAAP. We are in the midst of auditing and updating
the programmatic structure of TAAP, and we very much hope to use
your input to help us in this endeavor. TAAP is a longstanding
and highly valued program - and with your thoughts, ideas and
concerns taken into account as it is updated, we will fine tune
its weaknesses and do our best to build on its strengths. When
you receive an e-mail granting you access to the TAAP survey,
please take the time to respond.
