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.

If you missed it or want to relive the nostalgia, check out some performance footage below!

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.

Learn more about the challenge and how to participate.
