The Tufts University Alumni Association is pleased to announce a newly enhanced alumni awards and recognition program.

-As a complement to the Distinguished Service Award, the new Distinguished Achievement Award will be given for outstanding achievement in one's profession and/or community;

-Service Citations will continue to be a part of the overall program and are bestowed on worthy individuals who have made an exceptional contribution or service to Tufts and usually in one particular area of the University.
-The new Lifetime Service Award will be given to a worthy candidate who has demonstrated a lifetime of service to Tufts.
-The new Active Citizenship and Public Service Award will be given to an individual or group that develops, implements, and/or participates in a program, event or special outreach that contributes to improving the lives of others.
-The new Alumni Chapter Leadership Award has been created specifically for the Tufts Regional Alliances and the Alumni Shared Interest Groups as a way for them to recognize individuals within their respective alliances or groups who have demonstrated leadership capabilities or provided valuable input/assistance.
