Tufts University Employer Newsletter — May 2025
Published on May 28, 2025

Dear Employer Partners,

Happy spring! Please join us in congratulating our Class of ’25 graduates who earned their undergraduate and graduate degrees as well as PhDs on May 18th! Educator and mathematician Freeman A. Hrabowski III delivered the commencement address.

As the semester comes to a close, the Employer Relations team is already beginning to make plans for the fall term. If your company is interested in hosting any On Campus Interviews (OCIs) or coffee chats this fall, either in person or virtually, you’re welcome to sign up for a date on Handshake starting July 7th.

Finally, did you hire a Tufts student for an internship, co-op, or full-time position? If so, we would love to hear this news! Please email your employer relations team member listed below to share those details.

Thank you so much for your continued partnership!

Sincerely,

Employer Relations Team at Tufts University

Want to share a job posting with Tufts students? Tufts utilizes a recruiting database called Handshake where employers can make a profile and post job, internship, and/or co-op openings for Tufts students and alumni to view. With a Handshake account, you can request to post jobs, events, interview schedules and view/register for career events sponsored by the Tufts Career Center. 

If your company is planning to attend our Fall Career Fair, now would be a great time to update your Handshake profile with available internship, co-op, and job opportunities for students to view. Questions about posting opportunities on Handshake can be directed to willa.mayo@tufts.edu.
