Overview

In 1978, Tufts University established a veterinary school with a One Medicine mission. Today, nearly 50 years later, Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, the only veterinary school in New England, continues to advance One Health initiatives that improve the health and well-being of animals, humans and the environment. Cummings School assures that our students approach the veterinary profession with knowledge-filled open minds and the drive to make a difference in the world.

The Office of Development and Alumni Engagement serves Cummings School by maximizing resources from friends, alumni, parents, and corporate and foundation partners in support of the school’s academic, clinical, scientific, and service priorities. Specifically, the office raises, current use, capital funds and planned gifts to meet the school’s current and future needs. It also serves as a liaison for the Tufts University Veterinary Alumni Association (TUVAA).
