Dear Tufts Alumni and Friends,
We are planning a great Tufts Medicine Reunion this year. I am pleased to invite you and your family to
attend the many activities occurring April 24–26, 2015.
In addition to meeting up with classmates to reminisce and learn about the great changes that have
taken place at Tufts University School of Medicine (TUSM), we are planning a fun and interesting
weekend with activities including guest speakers on the history of the medical school, the Boston
Dispensary, the Floating Hospital, and Tufts Medical Center. We hope that this will serve to remind us of
our wonderful roots in patient care, research, and teaching.
Along with this, we are introducing two new educational opportunities for Tufts alumni. While we
continue to provide teaching and educational activities at the medical school, the Alumni Council and
Dean Harris Berman are embarking on two new projects, one of which will reach nationally while the
other will focus on global opportunities. Each of these exciting endeavors will involve patient care and
teaching opportunities for underserved populations while utilizing talented TUSM alumni.
I’m also pleased to unveil the Reunion Giving Awards—every gift, pledge, and bequest made to a Tufts
school or program will count. It’s a nice way to celebrate your reunion and make an immediate impact
on TUSM.
Please join your classmates, current medical students, the TMAA Council, faculty, and administrators
this spring in Boston. I look forward to seeing you in April.
Sincerely,
Thomas R. Hedges III, M.D., M75
President, Tufts Medical Alumni Association
