COMMENCEMENT 2017 3

Welcome from the President

This year marks the 161st Commencement exercises held at Tufts University. This is always the high point of the academic year, and we welcome all of you from around the world to campus for this joyous occasion—the culmination of our students’ intellectual and personal journeys.

Today’s more than 2,500 graduates arrived at Tufts with diverse backgrounds and perspectives. They have followed rigorous courses of study on our four Massachusetts campuses while enriching the life of our academic community. As Tufts students, many of them have studied or conducted research across this country and internationally. Many have also provided expert clinical care as part of their education. And they have brought our commitment to active citizenship to life through generous service to community, neighborhood, and governmental organizations. As graduates, they will join more than 100,000 members of our global alumni community in representing Tufts around the world. We hope they will stay connected with Tufts and know that their careers and accomplishments throughout their lifetime will give us cause for pride.

Award-winning television writer, creator, director, showrunner, executive producer, and feature film screenwriter Kenya Barris will deliver the Commencement address to the Class of 2017. The Emmy-nominated Barris is best known as the creator, executive producer, and co-showrunner of the hit ABC television series Black-ish, which is critically acclaimed for its ability to tackle challenging and provocative topics in thoughtful, funny, and entertaining ways. We are delighted to welcome him to the Hill to address our graduates, their families, and the Tufts community.

The Board of Trustees has voted to award honorary doctorates to Kenya Barris and six other distinguished honorees in recognition of their achievements and contributions in their chosen fields. All of them offer our graduates examples of accomplishment and service. A total of 20 members of the faculty and administration have been named to emeritus status, and we will recognize their contributions to the life of the university over a truly remarkable total of more than 675 cumulative years of service to Tufts.

At Tufts’ first Commencement—on July 8, 1857—three students received their degrees at a ceremony featuring addresses in Latin. While much has changed since then, Tufts remains committed to education and opportunity. Faculty, staff, families, and friends have all played a central role in our students’ education. Thank you for joining us in congratulating our graduates and wishing them all the best for the future.

Sincerely,

Anthony P. Monaco President
