Tufts Distinction Awards
The Tufts Distinction Awards are an important way to recognize the exceptional accomplishments of staff and faculty and affirm our shared values as a community. We encourage everyone to participate, and we hope you will take some time to reflect on who among your colleagues is due for some well-deserved applause. Nominations typically open in February every year.
