Diversity, Resiliency, and Legacy

Nearly 400 adult students have graduated from Tufts University since 1970. In this book you will learn about their experiences as non-traditional students at a selective university through interviews and essays. In creating this book, we explored the impact of the R.E.A.L. program on Tufts as well as on the lives of the students. We found three major points of impact: diversity, resiliency, and legacy.
In each section of the book you will read about students from diverse backgrounds who overcame many obstacles to succeed at Tufts. Many of them have created a legacy, not only by what they accomplished at Tufts, but also by inspiring others in their families to further their education.
