Tufts Schedules Medford Community Meeting On Reopening Plan

MEDFORD, MA — Tufts University will hold a community meeting Tuesday, Aug. 4 over Zoom to discuss its fall reopening plans, hear feedback from neighbors and answer questions from the community. The meeting comes following a request by Mayor Breanna Lungo-Koehn that the university address community concerns.

If you have questions you would like answered during the meeting, submit them when you register or email communityrelations@tufts.edu by July 31. There will also be a Q&A session following the presentation.

Tufts President Tony Monaco announced in late June the residential campus will reopen this fall, and classes will be held in person, online or over a hybrid format, meaning students will return to on- and off-campus housing in Medford and Somerville.

Some residents are concerned the school's plan to rigorously test and isolate potential COVID-19 cases won't do enough to keep the community safe.
