Division of Student Diversity and Inclusion

Tufts Student Giving (TSG) is a student-driven giving initiative for undergraduates that raises money to help ensure all students, regardless of financial circumstances, can have access to a Tufts education. TSG is excited to highlight the integral role the eight Division of Student Diversity and Inclusion (DSDI) Centers play on campus in supporting students. Whether they are creating comfortable spaces for students to connect with one another, addressing food insecurity, or funding students seeking professional opportunities, the DSDI Centers serve a large population of Tufts students in vital ways.
