Through their support, the university has made tremendous strides in the critical areas of financial aid, research and innovation, and living and learning spaces on all of our campuses.This success would not have been possible without the collective efforts of the university’s largest-ever cohort of volunteers, whose enthusiasm, outreach, and dedication drove the campaign to victory.Thank you to everyone who participated in Brighter World—you’ve made a world of difference!For more, visit: https://alumniandfriends.tufts.edu/brighterworldEditing by Jandro Cisneros Filming by Jandro Cisneros, Jenna Schad, and Alonso Nichols Production by UCM Staff
