  • Tufts and the Medford Community
    Tufts and the Medford Community Connecting with Neighbors It is impossible to imagine Medford today without Tufts University. Our “children, our businesses, and our institutions all benefit because Tufts calls our city home. We continually find new ways to work together and meet the evolving needs of our residents and the Tufts community. We are proud to have Tufts as our partner. MAYOR MI”CHAEL J. MCGLYNN The Office of Community Relations at Tufts is pleased to present this report to the Medford community. It is a snapshot of the many connections, partnerships, interactions, and opportunities that bring the Medford and Tufts communities together. Straddling the Medford/Somerville city line, Tufts University, through its Office of Community Relations and many other departments, works with neighbors, organizations, city government, and the public schools to enrich all parties and build strong partnerships. The Tufts University campus occupies roughly 150 acres, with approximately half of the university in each city. The Medford/Somerville campus houses the School of Arts and Sciences, the School of Engineering, the Jonathan M. Tisch College of Citizenship and Public Service, and the Fletcher School. In addition, the School of Medicine, the School of Dental Medicine, the Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences, and the Gerald J. and Dorothy R. Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy occupy a campus in Boston’s Chinatown district. The Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine is located in Grafton, Massachusetts. To our Medford neighbors: Tufts University is proud that it has shared a rich history with the City of Medford for nearly 160 years.
