Tufts Talks Openly: Programming Updates - Office of the Provost and Senior Vice President

Dear Tufts community members,

Due to the predicted snow forecast, there have been a couple changes to this week’s Tufts Talks Openly programming:

Dialogue & Action in an Age of Divides
- Tomorrow’s event (February 13), “Coming Together Across Difference: Finding Common Ground Across Identities and Political Divides,” will be virtual only. The on-campus viewing event and post-panel dinner are cancelled.
- If you would still like to watch the panel discussion, you can register directly with Northeastern University.

Anti-Bias and Non-Discrimination Trainings
- The February 14 trainings with Dr. Amer F. Ahmed on addressing anti-Muslim and anti-Arab bias will be rescheduled.
- We are working closely with Dr. Ahmed to find a new date as soon as possible.
- We will be sending an update on the new date, as well as a date for an upcoming training with Project Shema on understanding antisemitism and creating an inclusive campus environment for our Jewish community.

Please note: These program changes do not reflect wider university closures at this time. If a Tufts University campus closes due to snow, it will be announced via the university weather alert system (make sure you have opted in), on the Tufts University homepage, and through several other official channels.

Upcoming Programming:

February 16: Community Conversation with Professor Eileen Babbitt
February 21: Facilitating Inclusive and Responsive Dialogues
February 28: Planning for Important and Sometimes Challenging Classroom Conversations: Part 1
March 4: Tufts Table
March 6: Planning for Important and Sometimes Challenging Classroom Conversations: Part 2

For a full list of programming, please visit the Tufts Talks Openly webpage.

As always, please reach out to communityresponse@tufts.edu with any questions, ideas, or suggestions.

Thank you for your patience and understanding,
Office of the Provost
