Overview

The Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life is a national leader in civic education, whose teaching, research and community partnerships are setting the standard for higher education's role in civic engagement. As the only university-wide college of its kind, Tisch engages Tufts students in transformational learning opportunities via hands-on field-based experiences, community building, and public service. These engagements prepare them to become active citizens and community leaders. Tisch research centers conduct groundbreaking research on young people's civic and political participation and forge innovative participatory action research partnerships with communities.

Tisch College's North Star-building robust, inclusive democracy for an increasingly multiracial society-seeks to cultivate knowledge, leaders and living experiments that expand possibilities for democratic development in the context of increasing risks to democracy worldwide. Our programs and research centers focus on strengthening the political participation and voices of historically marginalized people, especially youth, and on addressing the challenges of building and reviving democratic institutions needed for multiracial/ethnic societies.


What You'll Do

At Tisch College, every Tufts student - whatever their field of study, school or degree program - has a pathway to civic engagement. The Tisch College student programs team oversees a robust portfolio of curricular and co-curricular opportunities for students across the university to develop and enhance civic learning.

In collaboration with staff/faculty at Tisch College and the host campuses, and in alignment with the Tisch College North Star, support development of program strategy, goals and content. Under the supervision of the Program Manager for the Health Sciences, the Senior Program Administrator for Civic Learning in Health Sciences oversees multiple programs and initiatives related to civic engagement and critical service learning in a health-related context. The Senior Program Administrator plays an integral role in supporting our work to meet students where they are and engaging them throughout their time at Tufts. The Senior Program Administrator works with staff, faculty, students and/or community partners at their host campus to identify civic engagement opportunities and design and implement associated events and activities.

A principal function of the Senior Program Administrator will be to lead the co-creation and eventual implementation of an incubator for civic learning, leadership and engagement across the health sciences. The Senior Program Administrator will also spend a portion of their time supporting civic engagement programming at the School of Dental Medicine and the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy.
