The positive experiences of Fleming and Weinstein highlight the void that TSF has filled for students who struggle to find summer opportunities that provide both relevant experience and funds to cover the cost of living. As the program continues to grow and evolve, it seems that more students of different backgrounds and interests will be able to reap their benefits.

The world of science may often feel inscrutable for people who are not practicing scientists or engineers, or who have access to few scientific resources. Tufts alumnus Jim Sampson (LA '09, SK '15) launched the "Breaking Science" public lecture series in 2016 with the goal of breaking down those very barriers to understanding science, research and technology for the masses.
Graduating senior Megan Tse refers to the factors that helped her decide on Tufts as “a series of random events.” She came to Jumbo Days as a prospective student and felt that she could see herself among the students walking around on campus. She was also very intrigued by the research going on at the school — something she hadn’t done before college. But what really sold her on the school was when she came to a Women in Engineering open house.
Tufts prides itself on being a distinguished research university, providing students with opportunities to apply what they have learned in the classroom to the real world. This year, in addition to the already established university-wide Summer Scholars program, a few new programs have been created to further this tradition. These programs are the Visiting and Early Research Scholar Experience (VERSE) Program, Global Research Assistant Program (GRAP) and the Laidlaw Undergraduate Research and Leadership Program.
As part of the Tufts University Prison Initiative at Tisch College (TUPIT), Founding Director Hilary Binda leaves campus early in the morning every Wednesday along with 10 students from the Tufts campus to join their additional 10 classmates at the Massachusetts Correctional Institution — Shirley, a medium-security state prison. She teaches the course “Mass Incarceration & Literature of Confinement.” Every Wednesday, the students meet in the computer lab within Shirley’s educational building. The weekly class, part of a three-year pilot, is an Inside-Out course, meaning half of the students are Tufts students and half are prisoners.
The MacPhie Pub, whose former home has since been combined with the Dewick building to form the Dewick-MacPhie Dining Center, was once a lively on-campus spot for students to hang out with friends, watch live entertainment and drink alcohol legally.
