Tufts University Beelzebubs 50th Anniversary: The Welcome Home Concert
Posted by Veronica Richter in General, Recap, Video on February 13, 2013
On Thursday, February 7, Tufts University welcomed back to the hill some of its most musically talented alumni: The Beelzebubs. ‘Bubs from every graduating class, from 1963 to 2003, flocked to the hill to honor nine of their fellow ‘Bubs who pursued their passion for music and the performing arts and have excelled in their field.
Honorees ranged from opera singers to Guster (yes, one of their members was a ‘Bub!) and everything in between. They were presented by ‘Bubs who knew them best and wowed the audience with their performances. Throughout the night, both presenters and honorees fondly looked back on their time singing on the hill and expressed that the Beelzebubs will always have a special place in their hearts and lives.

On Feb. 24, Tufts Hillel hosted a discussion with survivors from multiple 20th-century genocides around the world, as part of the Holocaust and Genocide Education program. You can now watch the archived video from the event.
Trustee Emeritus Bill Cummings, A58, H06, M97P, J97P, and Joyce Cummings, M97P, J97P, moved by Eliezer Ayalon’s stories of his experiences during and after the Holocaust, were inspired to think broadly about how education could help prevent such a horrific tragedy from ever happening again. The couple has now committed to a gift of $1 million to endow a new program in Holocaust and Genocide Education at Tufts Hillel, provided the same amount can be raised from other friends.
