Gracie McKenzie, A15 Kacey Taylor, A14 Lauren Witte, A14 Sol Gittleman Chair In an exciting and major step to move film and media studies at Tufts forward, the university has announced the establishment of the Sol Gittleman Professorship in Film and Media Studies. Over the past year, a group of faculty from many departments has worked to formulate proposals that will solidify and advance film and media studies at Tufts. One of these initiatives has been developing a position description for the new Gittleman chair. Members of this large interdisciplinary group have been appointed to a search committee, and the search has now commenced. Nancy Bauer, one of the Deans for Academic Affairs in the School of Arts and Sciences, stated, “We are thrilled that the first holder of a professorship named after the iconic Sol Gittleman will be in a subject near and dear to Sol’s heart. The launch of a new program in Film and Media Studies with the hire of a high-profile appointment will signal to the Tufts Community and the world our steadfast and very strong commitment, at a time when Universities are struggling with flat budgets, to supporting the humanities and the arts on our campus." 2 3 New CMS partnership with Tufts Medical School The need for clear and effective communication around health issues is arguably one of the most important needs of 21st century life. To meet this need and to better prepare students for the increasing job opportunities in the field, in the spring 2014 semester Tufts will launch a new B/MS in Health Communication. This program, a joint endeavor between the Tufts School of Medicine and the College of Arts & Sciences, will enable qualified undergraduates to get both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in five years, by starting to accumulate relevant graduate coursework at an accelerated pace. The program will allow students to delve into many different modes of health communication—from public health campaigns to one-on-one patient-provider dialogue to new media. The focus of the program will be getting students to understand the theories of communication that undergird the science, as well as providing students with courses that develop the research skills necessary to identify target audiences and their needs, along with the writing and presentation skills required to deliver the message. In addition, the program will provide students with many opportunities to apply what they have learned in field-based placements. CMS Director Julie Dobrow has worked with a team at the Tufts Medical School, including Sue Gallagher, the director of the health communication program, and Professor Linda Hudson, along with Professor Linda Sprague Martinez from the Community Health program, to develop and launch the program. Gallagher stated, “The new B-MSHCOM program is a logical partnership between the Tufts Medical School, Department of Public Health and Community Medicine, and the School of Arts and Sciences’ Community Health Program and the Communication and Media Studies Program. The program provides undergraduate students with a new career path in health communication and competence-based practical skills that are in high demand in the field of health and medicine. The TUSM program is the oldest health communication program in the country and has added several course that address the new media landscape of e-health, medical health and social media. TUSM added this dual degree program to shorten the time to degree completion and improve the competitiveness of graduates in the marketplace.” Click here for more information about the Health Communication program.

He’s also an ever-faithful Jumbo, dedicated to giving back to Tufts by offering eager students his advice, along with the opportunity to join his social network as they look to enter the marketing field. Engler’s time as a Jumbo began during his sophomore year, when he transferred to Tufts from Grinnell College to pursue undergraduate and graduate degrees in economics. He loved math, history and problem solving, and saw economics as the perfect blend of all three. During his last semester of school, he took a full-time job at Epsilon, where he traveled around the country predicting population growth rates. This was just the start to what he calls a “meandering path” of jobs in economic forecasting, marketing, then database marketing, which eventually led him to a five-year career in management strategy consulting. With the growth of the internet bubble in the early-2000s, Engler moved into digital marketing, and was appointed senior vice president of Digitas prior to becoming president of the company’s Boston region, overseeing roughly 900 people in three different cities. After spending a decade at Digitas, Engler joined Digital Influence Group (DIG) as its Engler gives advice to a Tufts student during a CMS CEO, making the shift from the largest digital agency in the event held earlier this year called “Advertising and world to a smaller one with a more specific focus on social Marketing the the Digital Age.” media. Earlier this month, he began the next chapter of his career as global chief of staff and the newly-created role of director of corporate strategy at Edelman, the largest PR agency in the world, recently named Global Agency of the Year for 2013 by The Holmes Report. No matter where his career has taken him, Engler remembers his roots as a Jumbo by revisiting campus to share his knowledge and expertise to both students and faculty.

  • Vice President for Institute Affairs and Secretary of the Corporation
    Vice President for Institute Affairs and Secretary of the Corporation One of the Institute’s four corporate officers, the vice president for Institute affairs and secretary of the Corporation is responsible for MIT’s communications, including the coordination of policy issues with the senior administration and trustees of the Corporation. The vice president for Institute affairs has management responsibilities for the Conference Services, Events and Information Center, News Office, Publishing Services Bureau, and Reference Publications Office. The secretary of the Corporation oversees the operations of MIT’s board of trustees and its committees, including the 30 visiting committees that conduct biennial reviews of the Institute’s academic and research programs. Each year MIT opens its doors to the most promising students from across the country and the world. Together with our faculty, they are discovering next-generation solutions to the earth’s energy and environment problems, making advances that will sustain the nation’s economic growth, and developing tools that will allow the United States to outpace its technological competitors. As a result, MIT is a destination for visitors of all kinds: prospective students and their parents, intellectual partners and government leaders, close neighbors and foreign dignitaries. Others in the world visit the Institute virtually, whether exploring a subject in OpenCourseWare, clicking onto our homepage, or simply hearing about us in the media. There have never been more ways to learn about MIT; and it is happening at a time when the problems we are solving are more urgent than ever and our opportunity to lead has never been more important.
