Activities/Opportunities for Emeriti
Faculty
Tufts University wishes to
make certain that we participate, insofar as it is within our means and
resources, to enriching the lives of our faculty during retirement. While
constraints of space and resources may limit us in more fully responding to the
needs of our emeriti faculty, we are committed to trying. Please feel free to
send suggestions to the Provost's Office, Ballou Hall, Medford Campus.

length of time, if the request for books or publications coincides with that of
another faculty member who is currently teaching a course.

At times, there are
opportunities for emeriti to teach part time in their departments. There
may also be mentoring and teaching possibilities through the Experimental
College located at 95 Talbot Avenue on the Medford campus. Please contact Robyn

TUITION BENEFITS

would have to accept the faculty member into his/her class.
PARKING
Emeriti faculty on the
Medford campus may request a parking permit without charge from the Office of
the Provost to use when parking on the Medford campus. Grafton faculty may
apply to Security on the Grafton Campus for a sticker, and the fee will be
waived. The Boston Security Office does not issue Tufts parking permits to
faculty and therefore this arrangement does not extend to the Boston campus.
