Office of Diversity

3rd
Floor, Ballou Hall
One of the recommendations of the December 1997 Task Force on Race Report was the creation
of an office at Tufts "whose mission
is to develop programs and initiatives to address race and diversity issues in
many venues." There was strong
consensus from many parts of the community that such an office can play an
important role in creating and sustaining a
healthy diverse community at Tufts. In 1998, the Arts & Sciences Office of
Diversity Education and Development was
created. Its purpose is to work collaboratively with faculty, staff, and
students to augment the diverse community that
already exists at Tufts. This office is responsible for developing,
implementing, and assessing a range of
programs for faculty, staff, and students, and for collaborating with offices,
departments, and programs in Arts, Sciences and Engineering, as well as with
other parts of the University, as appropriate, to promote diversity. The Office
provides workshops and other educational sessions, is a resource for
consultations, develops a variety of resource materials, helps to plan some
diversity-related events on campus, and coordinates a diversity calendar that
provides a comprehensive listing of events.

Since 1986 the Center for Science and Mathematics Teaching at Tufts University has successfully
addressed a problem that has become a national priority: improving the teaching
and learning of science in the nation's schools and universities. The Center,
directed by Ronald Thornton, develops curricula, activities, and computer tools
to allow students to participate actively in their own learning and to construct
scientific knowledge for themselves. Using these materials the students learn
directly from the physical world. The Center's substantial conceptual-learning
research and evaluation program guides the development of materials.
