From analysis to action, from science to policy, from research
to interventions that work, the Gerald J. and Dorothy R.
Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy teaches the
leaders of tomorrow while taking action today. The nutritional
crises of our times are many — brought on by famine, war,
natural disaster, food insecurity, nutritional issues related
to HIV/AIDS, childhood obesity and physical activity issues,
as well as the foods we eat, the vitamins we take, and
the natural aging process. At the Friedman School, these
nutritional crises are not just front-page news, they are
problems that require science-based, real world solutions.
Today, the Friedman School is at a crossroads. For more
than 25 years, the school has set the standard for leadership,
opening a new dialogue about nutrition and health. The
Friedman School has taken the lead by planting the seeds
of a vision for nutrition that has clearly taken root and now
bears fruit. As part of careful strategic planning, we have
established a $50 million goal for Beyond Boundaries:
The Campaign for Tufts. Our capacity to make a crucial
difference in the human condition depends on our ability
to build a foundation for true and lasting excellence.
