Please join us October 6, 2023, from 4-6 pm for the opening of our new exhibit in celebration of the inauguration of President Sunil Kumar.

Title: The Charge and the Challenge: Tufts Presidents from Ballou to Kumar 

Description: Thirteen presidents have celebrated their installations on the hill since the founding of Tufts College. As the Tufts community prepares to inaugurate the University's fourteenth president, Sunil Kumar, this exhibit offers a glimpse at each president and a survey of the highlights and major events of their tenures. The exhibit opens with a welcome to President Kumar then moves back through time all the way to Tufts' first president, Rev. Hosea Ballou, 2d.

Following President Kumar's inauguration ceremony archivists will be on hand to discuss exhibit highlights and present an additional selection of presidential artifacts, from the Tufts Charter to Jumbo's Tail. All are welcome to drop in at anytime between 4 pm and 6 pm on October 6th. 

Location: Tisch Library main entrance and the Dranetz Tower
