Our Legacy:
Welcome
Welcome to the Legacy of Tufts University International Students!

Since becoming Director of the International Center at Tufts
University in 1983, I have welcomed thousands of international
students and scholars who have come to study at Tufts University. It
has always been incredibly rewarding to meet students and scholars
from all over the world and to hear why they chose to come to the
United States for higher education, and in particular, to Tufts.
This archive project started in 2009 after meeting with an alumnus
from Indonesia who attended Tufts in the 1950s. After listening to
his experience of studying at Tufts in the 1950s, I came to realize
that being an international student in the 21st century was not much
different from his experiences in the 1950s. It became clear to me
that we needed to document the shared experiences of former Tufts
international students.
I welcome you to navigate through the website to learn more about
the legacy of international students at Tufts University and to see
how the International Center has transformed with increasing
international enrollment.
