Getting Ready for a New Semester

New and returning students bring the Tufts campus back to life.

  1. Welcome back, students!
  2. Everyone's excited for campus to spring back to life.

  3. @tuftsuniversity is getting repopulated! It's awesome to see people all around campus again.
  4. Tufts Admissions tweeted, "Cheers to new beginnings" -- quite literally, as the cannon sported a fresh coat of white paint ahead of the new semester.
  5. Of course, down on the health sciences campus in Boston, students are already knee-deep in the fall semester. Also, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences held its matriculation on Aug. 30. Here's the head count from a Ph.D. drama student:

  6. Officially matriculated. One of 416 in my college and one of six in my program. One of two on my fellowship. #tufts
  7. Many freshmen came to campus early for pre-orientation activities such as FOCUS (community service), Tufts Wilderness, FIT, CAFE (interfaith) and International Orientation.
  8. Here, some FOCUS participants load up on breakfast after spending Thursday night camping out in the Gantcher Center before a day of service in the community.
  9. Tropical Storm Irene interrupted some of the pre-orientation activities for the incoming class, but spirits were undaunted.
  10. Many thanks to @MonacoAnthony for stopping by #FOCUS in the calm of the storm! It was great meeting you and your family. @TuftsUniversity

  13. Orientation at @TuftsUniversity is about to begin and the Jills are rehearsing to impress #tufts2015. Who's coming to O-Show on 9/5?
  14. Faculty members received props for their training sessions with orientation leaders.
  15. a room full of professors and OLs being taught by Dean Knox is one of the best things I've ever experienced at @TuftsUniversity #Engineering
