Before his first commencement here at Tufts on Sunday, check out this “Interview with President Monaco” and get a glimpse into the life of Tony Monaco and his first year at Tufts:

Dental Students Reinvent the Twilight Saga
Posted by Ashley Wood in School of Dental Medicine, Student Experience, Students, Video on March 19, 2012
Grad students from the Class of 2011 Tufts School of Dental Medicine created a spoof video reinventing the Twilight Saga to fit into the context of their lives as students. The plot of the video revolves around the protagonist’s desire to gain her fangs through “new crowns,” rather than a vampire bite. The surrogate Edward Cullen must get the crowns sent out before the day is over in order to get his new love what she wants. So while you’re waiting for the next real Twilight movie to come out, this loose interpretation of the series is sure to garner a few laughs.

Tufts President Lawrence Bacow was recently awarded the Under the Roof Leadership award for his work with the Somerville Homeless Coalition. This tribute video, presented by the Homeless Coalition, honors Bacow for his commitment to community service and active citizenship. As both an individual and the leader of the Tufts community, Bacow has taken a personal investment in getting involved in causes like the Homeless Coalition, and his initiative has inspired many others to do the same. Bacow explains the importance of the cause:
One way of measuring the justness of a society is [looking at] how it treats the most vulnerable among us…I think it’s important that we reach out, that we don’t turn a blind eye — that we try and engage, and that we try and help. And I am proud of what the university has been able to do to support the Homeless Coalition.”
Here’s the video honoring Bacow’s contribution:

Tufts graduate student Elizabeth Mahaffy (A’11) and recent alumni Joseph Cutrufo (A’10) created a video called “Greening the Curriculum.” The video, which was produced in partnership with Tufts Institute of the Environment for the Tufts Environmental Literacy Institute, features conversations with students on the Medford/Somerville and Boston campuses about integrating environmental issues into Tufts classes. Both Mahaffy and Cutrufo are of the Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning program at Tufts.

Tufts Does Trivia!
Tufts grad students from a range of disciplines within the health sciences recently joined together for a night of trivia. A recent post on the Friedman School’s Slow Food Tufts blog tells of the event:
Here on the downtown Boston campus of Tufts, we have several separate schools full of grad students working towards degrees in the health sciences (nutrition, dentistry, public health, medicine, biomedical science, and more). While we all pass by each other in the library and around campus, it’s not often that we have events involving more than one school. This all changed on a recent Thursday night, when students from the Friedman, Dental, Medical, PHPD, and Sackler programs came together to test their trivia knowledge! With questions submitted by professors from various disciplines, as well as some pop culture and Boston-specific trivia, everyone had their chance to shine – and to be occasionally stumped.”

The Community Health Advocates at Tufts (CHAT) is the first official student group in the Tufts Public Health and Professional Degree program. Made up of Tufts graduate students hailing from a variety of backgrounds, CHAT provides a forum for collaboration between future health care leaders from the Tufts community and advocates for causes such as health care policy and disease prevention.
In partnership with the Massachusetts Public Health Association, CHAT recently blogged about their support of the Act FRESH campaign policy agenda.
Tufts Dental Mission to Haiti
Posted by Georgy Cohen in Active Citizenship, School of Dental Medicine on November 8, 2010
In August 2009, School of Dental Medicine Clinical Associate Professor Aidee Herman led a group of 19 volunteers on a humanitarian trip to Haiti for the Institute of Human and Community Development. The volunteers provided dental care for 900 patients, including the the mayor of Port-Au-Prince, Jean-Yves Jason. Watch a photo slideshow from the mission:
Dr. Herman’s upcoming trip will be the third time she’s led a group to Haiti. She went in August 2008, August 2009, and this school year, she will go during March 2011.
