Update from the Chair: President Larry Bacow At my own university, opening convocations take place in various forms at all our different schools. The most solemn and formal of them takes place when we welcome our entering undergraduates at Matriculation. Each year, I exhort our newest students to get involved in life beyond campus. I remind them that at Tufts we expect every graduate to be an active, engaged, effective citizen not just of our own university community but of the world at large. I ask them to try to make a difference as students and graduates. I remind them that in doing so they will be faithful to our founding vision—since the founders of our university believed passionately that with education comes responsibility, and that those who are educated have the capacity to transform the lives of those less fortunate. Institutionally and individually, all of us in the Talloires Network share ideals and goals of civic engagement and active citizenship. Each of our member institutions has developed innovative approaches to civic engagement that draw on its distinctive traditions and advance its educational mission. I am sure that this academic year will see even further advances for the worldwide movement of engaged universities, and look forward to making the Talloires Network even more active and effective in this work.
