Across the University

After 10 years, Tisch College is

strongly woven into the fabric of

the university, with every school

embracing active citizenship in

and out of the classroom. Undergraduates from the School of Arts and Sciences and School of Engineering may select from Tisch College’s growing list of 108 active citizenship courses from 30 departments. Additionally, all 3317 under-graduates living on campus engage through Tisch College’s partnership with the Office of Residential Life and Learning.

Students from the School of Medicine are required to complete 50 hours of community service learning, students from the School of Dental Medicine must participate in a five-week “externship” at one of 25 facil-ities across the country and students from the Gerald J. and Dorothy R. Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy are required to take a public policy course. At the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine students actively serve through numerous community programs and students from The Fletcher School arrive as impressive world leaders and graduate as innovative problem-solvers with strategic cross-sector networks.

With this strong foundation, Tisch College will expand and deepen these opportunities, ensuring every student has a truly meaningful civic experience at Tufts.

For Tisch College’s 10th anniversary, the inaugural Alan D. Solomont lecture brought Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Democratic Leader of the House of Representatives and former Speaker of the House, to campus to reflect on her career and the importance of public service.

Transformative Opportunities Mimi Briskman, A10, and Rebecca Weinstein, A10, are among the 82 students who’ve participated in a unique experi-ence only Tufts provides: an extensive mentoring, network-ing and internship program in Washington, D.C. The program features substantial work oppor-tunities open exclusively to Tufts students, in-depth mentoring with Tufts alumni and network-ing sessions. The two School of Arts and Sciences graduates, who’ve taken on leadership of the program, say the experience transformed their career paths.

“The program provided resources to pursue my passions after graduation — a network of engaged alumni, an under-standing of the job market and professional contacts within D.C.’s premiere private and federal organizations,” said Weinstein, now a litigation case assistant at Kirkland & Ellis, LLP.

“Participation gave me a chance to learn more about myself and what i wanted in the future,” added Briskman, a legislative affairs specialist with the Department of Justice. “Tufts students are lucky to have this program which can teach them, prepare them and expand their horizons concerning Washington, D.C. and their professional potential.”

Addressing the Root Cause Karen Kosinski, EG11, has made significant advancements in the prevention of schistosomiasis, a waterborne disease that affects over 200 million people around the world. As a Ph.D. candi-date in the Graduate School of Engineering, Kosinski not only worked with ghanaian nurses to treat children suffering from the disease, but she and her team built a clean water facility that significantly reduced infections in Adasawase, a rural community in ghana.

As part of her research effort, Kosinski mentored Tufts under-graduates, helping them develop skills in community health research and leading cultural competency trainings. Embracing this aspect of her work, Kosinski now serves as a lecturer of community health, School of Arts and Sciences.

Medical Mentors Jonathan Brower, M13, and Michael Kwak, M13, developed and implemented an interactive science literacy curriculum for over 100 seventh graders. Collaborating with teachers from a district with a college enrollment rate of only 14%, the pair built on existing curriculum to emphasize health disparities the middle schoolers identi-fied in their own community.

“For these students, child-hood dreams are meeting with the realities of their communi-ty,” said Kwak. “The opportu-nity to connect with and learn from a diverse group of Tufts medical students is invaluable in keeping them passionate about success while giving them the tools to make those visions a reality.”

Engaging over 30 medical students as tutors and mentors, the program fulfills the School of Medicine’s requirement that all students complete 50 hours of com-munity service learning. The win-win program is now being replicated by five medical schools across the country.

“Tufts students are learning skills critical to patient care,” said Brower. “They learn to communicate cross-culturally, identify individual values and advocate for their patients.”

Building to Last Dean Ladin, A10, had served on a high school student jury for juvenile cases and came to Tufts wanting to start a similar program. Connecting with local law enforcement and the District Attorney’s office, Ladin refined his vision to create a Juvenile Diversion Program which met local needs. The program’s focus on connecting juvenile offenders with their community through tailored service experiences has been so successful that it has expanded into dozens of cities and towns.

Working on this throughout his time in the School of Arts and Sciences, Ladin learned firsthand how to listen to community needs and develop sustainable solutions. Passionate about serving youth, Ladin now works for Teach for America as a social studies teacher on the South Side of Chicago.

The diversion program has only continued to flourish since Ladin’s graduation. Anjuli Branz, A13, who ran the program last year, increased the capacity of local organizations to provide service opportunities and developed a service learning curriculum. She gained so much from the experience that it led her to intern as a victim and witness advocate for the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office over the summer.

Students from the Cummings School of Veterinary

Medicine organized free rabies vaccination clinics serving six

Worcester Housing Authority (WHA) complexes. The program

provided veterinary care to 144 pets.

“The clinic provides the important public health benefit of

having animals vaccinated against rabies and is an opportunity

for public education on these issues,” said Mehnaz Chumkee

Aziz, V12. “But the most important part is that these folks

love their pets — in some cases their pet is their only

companion — but they just can’t afford basic veterinary care or

are unaware of what type of veterinary care their pet needs.”

After a devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti,

the Tufts community quickly mobilized to bring

desperately needed assistance to the people

on the ground.

Tools for Response As disaster reports started coming in, Patrick Meier, F12, rallied his peers at The Fletcher School, reached out to Tufts undergraduates and developed a nearly real-time crisis map — a critical tool for relief organizations trying to distribute resources and find those most in need.

Meier had already been working with Ushahidi, an information-gathering platform that emerged in the wake of post-election violence in Kenya, and was able to quickly apply the technology to the situation in Haiti. Leading a team of over 200 Tufts students and over 1,200 volunteers from 40 countries, the group harnessed the power of cloud computing to collect, translate and map thousands of eyewitness reports that came in via text message, e-mail and social media sites.

Sustaining Solutions Meanwhile, Dr. Mark Pearlmutter, M84, assistant professor of emergency medicine, School of Medicine, led a team of Tufts physicians to Haiti to help with the first response relief efforts. With previous experience in the country, Pearlmutter had already been exploring the possibility of establishing a permanent rotation of medical students there. But while medical professionals were desperately needed, the crisis also increased the need for careful planning and preparation. Pearlmutter collaborated with L’Hopital Sacre Coeur, 70 miles north of Port-au-Prince, to ensure Tufts teams would truly meet the needs of the community. The site began welcoming medical students in mid-2010, and has proven to be a successful partnership for the Tufts students and for the Haitian patients and medical professionals involved.

Quality healthcare is one of the most pressing

issues facing our country, and Tufts students

are working together to provide services to

those in need.

Prevention and Access Started by students at the School of Medicine, the Sharewood Project has provided free health care to more than 1,500 patients over the last 12 years. Ross Icyda, D11, and Hubert Park, D11, have been coordinating students from the School of Dental Medicine to provide oral health education and dental care at the Sharewood Project.

“So many patients have problems that could easily have been prevented or minimized with early interventional treatments,” Park said. “‘Access to Care’ is still one of the biggest problems in dentistry.”

With the need for affordable, accessible health care on the rise, Daniel Slate, A11, led undergraduate volunteers in an outreach effort to local community organizations, raising awareness of Sharewood’s services. Over two years, the client base grew from 5 patients a night to an astounding 30-40 patients a night. With Slate serving as president of Sharewood’s undergraduate board, nearly 300 undergraduate volunteers provided much-needed assistance with administra-tive duties. Recently, Sharewood student volunteers expanded the clinic’s capacity by adding two treatment rooms, improving undergraduate volunteer training and digitizing patient records.

“The Sharewood Project has given me the opportunity to develop as a leader and has defined my leadership style,” said Slate. “Because of my experiences, i plan to pursue a career in business. i believe business and society both benefit from leaders who are active citizens and who understand their responsibility extends much deeper than the bottom line.”

For over 25 years, the Carol R. Goldberg Civic Engagement

Initiative has met critical community challenges by bring-

ing together researchers, practitioners and civic leaders.

Partnering with The Boston Foundation and Tisch College,

the goldberg initiative has addressed issues of healthcare

access, green space, childcare and nonprofit development.

With faculty leadership from Flavia Peréa, assistant professor of

public health and community medicine, School of Medicine,

and Linda Sprague Martinez, lecturer of community health,

School of Arts and Sciences, the current goldberg initiative

uses an asset-based approach to promote culturally appropriate

physical activity among groups facing institutional challenges to

healthy living—specifically Dominican and Haitian immigrants.

Developed in collaboration with community stakeholders,

findings will be used to inform local and organizational policy

and programming through a goldberg stakeholder convening.

Collaborative Response Building off Tisch College’s ten-year track record of evaluating needs, aligning assets and developing mutually beneficial partnerships between Tufts and its host commu-nities, Project PERIS is an innovative model for university-community collaboration that engages students, faculty and community partners in planning, priority setting and service delivery to address rapidly emerging or changing needs. Made possible by a grant from Learn and Serve America of the Corporation of National and Community Service, Project PERiS has supported 23 courses and 26 summer fellowships, engaging 264 students, 11 faculty and 20 community co-educators. Working on topics such as K–12 school reform, homelessness and urban planning, students have undertaken qualitative and quantitative research, ethnographic interviews, community engagement and social media development.

in one partnership between Kevin irwin, lecturer of community health, School of Arts and Sciences and Mark Alston-Follansbee, executive director of the Somerville Homeless Coalition, students focus on issues of homeless-ness, housing and food insecurity. After researching the greatest needs of the local homeless population, students learned that there was no centralized system for mapping shelters, food pantries or other service providers. This information was needed not only by underserved members of the community, but by service providers who need to know what other services exist and how resources can best be accessed. Meeting this need, students developed an online google map that delivers this information.

“it’s easy to be an activist on a college campus, but it requires something more to become an advocate in the world beyond,” irwin said. “We strive to equip students with a full set of tools to integrate social justice into whatever professional path they take.”

Diverse perspectives lead to

better results. Community members

and university researchers think

differently about problems. Faculty

members and practitioners from

different fields take different

approaches. All of these perspec-

tives are equally needed in order to

address and solve the issues our

communities face. Tisch College

serves as a unique convener of

stakeholders—bringing everyone

to the table and creating an

environment conducive to

communication and collaboration.

gResearching Solutions Started by Tisch College, the Tufts Community Research Center (TCRC) fosters collaboration between Tufts faculty researchers and community partners. Through seed funding, TCRC kick starts community-engaged research projects selected jointly by community partners and Tufts faculty. The center also provides an important forum for substantial discussions about research partnerships and shared interests.

Community Assessment of Freeway Exposure and Health (CAFEH) initiative is one of several projects TCRC has helped launch. The study began after community members from the Somerville Transportation Equity Partnership (STEP) approached Doug Brugge, professor of public health and community medicine, School of Medicine, about the effects of living near highways.

“Annually, in the United States alone, somewhere over 100,000 people die from fine particulate air pollution,” said Brugge. “This is an issue the public isn’t aware of and our research will help raise awareness and generate solutions to this problem.”

CAFEH partners with the School of Engineering, the Chinese Progressive Association, the Chinatown Resident Association, the Committee for Boston Public Housing and the City of Somerville. The study has gone on to receive $2.5 million from the National institute of Health, $750,000 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, over $1 million from the National Heart Lung and Blood institute and an Environmental Protection Agency STAR graduate Fellowship for the work of engineering Ph.D. candidate Allison St. Vincent, EG11.

“When community members hear about this research they want to know the solution to the problem,” said Ellin Reisner of STEP. “As a result of the initial study, we’ve received additional funding to put air filters in people’s homes and explore real solutions.”

Wanda Wright, assistant professor of public health and

community service, manages the School of Dental

Medicine’s community outreach programs, improving

cultural competency skills and creating a greater

community-minded spirit among dental students. As a

Tisch College Faculty Fellow, Wright assessed changes in

dental students’ attitudes and beliefs and evaluated gains

in cultural competency after participation in the dental

school’s community-based externship program.

Wright also serves on Tisch College’s faculty executive

committee, which oversees the process for faculty from

across the university to affiliate with Tisch College and

provides faculty related advice to the dean.

A Split Millennial? Nearly half of all young people between the ages of 18 and 29 have no college experience, yet the majority of resources and civic opportunities are available primarily to college students. This discrepancy has a tremendous, self-perpetuating impact on our society — with college youth tending to be more engaged in civil society and non-college youth being continually left out.

Tisch College’s Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE) is conducting an ambitious, multi-pronged research program on the civic engagement of young adults without college experience. This groundbreaking research includes detailed investigations with YouthBuild USA and the U-TEC program in Lowell, MA, 19 focus groups with 147 young adults in four cities and national survey research. Additionally, CiRCLE convened 11 organizations that work directly with this cohort to explore the most promising strategies for engaging this group.
