“Tufts University provided a stimulating atmosphere that inspired
creativity and ideas. This taught me how important it is for a leader to
foster an environment where inspiration and innovation thrive. Tufts
also encouraged collaboration and disciplined approaches—practices
that have enabled me to help our company grow by pulling together
the best thinking across business disciplines. Finally, Tufts helped
me understand the importance of adhering to sound values such as
those we hold at DuPont—respect for people, ethics, safety, and the
environment. I owe a great deal to Tufts, and a high-quality engineering
education is only part of what I received from the school.”

We are ready to cultivate global thinkers who will tackle today’s most pressing problems
with both creativity and conscience. We will strive to further the aspirations of our citizen-
engineers—technical professionals who will apply their knowledge toward the enrichment and
enlightenment of their communities and the world around us.
Your investment in the campaign will be an investment in people with the skills, the knowledge
and the passion to find tangible solutions to the troubling issues our society faces today. Our
engineering graduates and faculty will radically alter the fields of health and medicine, breaking
new ground and saving lives. They will pursue closer balance and harmony between the natural
and the built environments. They will develop teaching methods and technologies that will serve
as models for engineering education in the world.
These are blueprints for our future.
You can help us build the vision.
