Freshmen Unpack Bags, Prepare To Start College Experience
Medford/Somerville,
Mass. -- "At Tufts University, we will urge you to explore
your interests, to expand your thinking, and to experience the
joy of learning," University President John DiBiaggio told
the 1,186 members of the Class of 2004, during the University's
matriculation ceremony. One of the most accomplished classes in
Tufts' 148-year history, the freshman received a standing ovation
from thousands of parents, siblings, faculty and staff.
DiBiaggio
told the students to enjoy their time at college and to take advantage
of the University's world-renowned programs, faculty and research.
"As
students at Tufts University, the Class of 2004 will have unprecedented
opportunities to explore so many areas of interest, and so many
topics of personal, regional, and international importance. This
is truly the beginning of a very special journey for all of you.
I wish you well, and I look forward to sharing these next four
years with you," DiBiaggio told the students.
The
class represents 46 states and territories and 40 countries. Over
13 percent of the class is international, and for more than 23%
of of the class, English is not the primary language spoken at
home.
