Two Tufts students take on the Boston Marathon as charity runners

By Arielle Flaherty | April 10

On April 21, approximately 25,000 runners will gather to complete the 129th Boston Marathon. Around 10% of these runners are charity runners, which means that instead of qualifying with a time, they have fundraised on behalf of one of the 174 official charity programs selected by the Bank of America Boston Marathon Official Charity Program. Tufts graduate student Maggie Roberts and Tufts senior Nika Renshaw are both excited to participate in the marathon as charity runners, raising funds respectively for Tedy’s Team and the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy.

By Arielle Flaherty | February 13

Davis Square is a hotspot for Tufts students. In particular, students flock to The Burren, an Irish pub with red-paned windows and iconic outdoor picnic tables, that has drawn diners to live music seven nights a week for nearly 30 years. The Burren even gained national attention in 2019 for its charm: Thrillist listed it as one of the top 21 Irish Pubs in America.

Medford, Somerville local history: Remnants of the Revolutionary War preserved near Tufts

By Arielle Flaherty | November 21

On Sept. 1, 1774, a critical event transpired just minutes from the Tufts Medford-Somerville Campus — an event that some argue altered the course of United States’ history. British soldiers’ seizure of gunpowder from the powder house in Somerville sparked a false alarm that the Revolutionary War had started. Ultimately, this false alarm was a crucial turning point and contributed toward the formation of the Minuteman soldiers and the Battle of Lexington and Concord.

How Tufts students are taking to the slopes this winter

By Arielle Flaherty | February 8

Flying down the mountain as the wind slaps your face: Skiing is a dance of control and freedom. Your skis cut into the edge of the mountain, carving up snow (or ice) as you turn. When you get to the bottom of the mountain, it’s straight back up the lift for another run. Many Tufts students are avid skiers, but the sport’s high entry cost can make it prohibitively expensive. To go skiing, you need to purchase gear, obtain expensive ski tickets and have access to a mountain. Ski passes can be as expensive as $113 on a weekday in New Hampshire. On top of that, gear rentals generally cost over $50 for a single-day rental.
