WHY TUFTS: “Tufts has a great liberal arts tradition and is making a difference in the world for individuals, communities and civil society more
generally.

Having the opportunity to work at an institution that has this traditional excellence and yet this commitment, this pillar, to application to real world service is just an enormous opportunity, a great gift.”

CURRENT RESEARCH: Groundbreaking work on the nature of positive development among adolescents. Several longitudinal studies are underway exploring how adolescents develop in positive ways and how this development is juxtaposed with risk behaviors (alcohol, drug use, unsafe sex, delinquency, etc.) often seen during this period.
