Description

Tufts Alumni Hawaii invites Tufts alumni, parents and friends to join us as we welcome special guests, President Lawrence S. Bacow and Adele Fleet Bacow, for an evening reception. Come hear President Bacow reflect upon his years at Tufts and discuss the state of the University today.

As twelfth President of Tufts University, Lawrence S, Bacow has emphasized increased collaboration among Tufts’ eight schools and generated creativity and enthusiasm for interdisciplinary study while extending the university’s longstanding commitment to active citizenship and civic engagement. Under his leadership, Tufts has enhanced its national and international visibility as an innovative leader in American higher education while strengthening the resources to support exceptional teaching and research. A lawyer and economist whose research focuses on environmental policy, President Bacow received his S.B. in economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, his J.D. from Harvard Law School, and his M.P.P. and Ph.D. from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. Before assuming the Presidency at Tufts, President Bacow served as Chancellor at MIT. He serves as a director of Tufts Medical Center, the Omidyar-Tufts Microfinance Fund, the Cummings Foundation, and Campus Compact and as a trustee of Wheaton College.
