Ramping up for fall
Tweet Though I haven’t posted much this summer, we’ve actually been rather busy in behind-the-scenes work on fall courses, orientation, first-year seminars, and even a possible fall event or two. The ExCollege also welcomes our new Program Assistant, Melissa Burke, who starts work next week. Look for some posts from her soon!
Ch-ch-ch-changes
Tweet Changes to the ExCollege staff, changes to our course listing, changes in the weather…we’re just full of changes over here. First, our Program Assistant for the last two years, Alison Mehlsak, finished up her time with us this past Friday. We’ll miss her a great deal, but we’re excited to announce the new Program [...]

Best. Students. Ever.
Tweet We are very lucky here at the ExCollege. We have a cool house with wireless and air-conditioning (okay the air-conditioning doesn’t seem like a big deal right now, but it will), we get to meet interesting lecturers every semester, and students like us (right? you do like us, right?). But one of the best [...]
The Next Ali
Tweet Sad to say, but our Program Assistant, Ali Mehlsak (A09), will be leaving us soon, and we are on the hunt to fill her Frye boots. We usually hire a just-graduated Tufts alum for the upcoming academic year. Unlike a lot of stuff out there, this is an honest-to-goodness paid position with benefits. If [...]
