Join us for the second in a series of talks that explores how Tufts University administrative leaders and faculty are leading and navigating the current challenges and opportunities in higher education. Provost Caroline Genco will reflect on her first two years as provost and chief academic officer at Tufts in a conversation with Vice Provost for Institutional Inclusive Excellence Monroe France. The discussion will provide insights into her career journey as a scientist and now as a leader in higher education.  Provost Genco will share insights on the role of a university provost and what she finds rewarding and challenging in her responsibilities to advance the academic mission and priorities of the institution. The conversation will also focus on steps she has taken to address campus climate, develop an inclusive community, and to respond to emerging trends. Attendees may submit questions in advance, and there will be a limited opportunity to answer questions from the virtual audience. Presented to alumni but open to the entire community (parents, faculty, staff and students), this series will dig into the journeys, highlights, and challenges of Tufts University leaders.

Currently on view on the main floor of Tisch Library, the exhibit highlights the lives and little-known stories of some of the earliest students of color at Tufts. One of the most important aspects of the SCL project is documenting the long presence of African-descended and Indigenous students on Tufts’ campus. By examining archival materials, personal accounts, and institutional records, the exhibit demonstrates the diversity of experiences and contributions of these students, highlighting their unsung achievements and collective impact on the university.  Deep Roots at Tufts showcases five of these students, featuring newly discovered stories and information about their lives. In doing so, Deep Roots at Tufts deepens our conversations about the past, present, and future of Tufts University.  The Slavery, Colonialism, and Their Legacies Project at Tufts University is a collaborative effort of the Center for the Study of Race and Democracy, the Center for the Humanities at Tufts, and the Tufts Archival Research Center. Support for the project comes from the Office of the Provost. The exhibit can be found on the second (main) floor of Tisch Library in the atrium. An exhibit opening reception will be held at 4 p.m. on December 4 in the Learning and Teaching Commons, Tisch Library room 223.

Similarly, some think climatic trends in the centuries after the RCO were in large part responsible for the Roman Empire’s decline and disintegration. This lecture seeks to nuance these differences in climate and society to highlight why broad climatic phases cannot by themselves be used as societal determinants.
