 Tufts - Task Force Final Report: College System
College Centers: We propose the creation of four colleges, each with one residence hall designated as its "college center" to serve as the hub of college life— the locus for college activities and traditions, the home-base for members of the college, and the location for college offices, lounges, and advising.
We envision the colleges as a natural place for students and faculty to establish relationships with one another, and the college director's goal would be to provide the overall vision for the college, a vision in which faculty-student interaction is central.
The colleges could serve as the vehicle for a variety of functions— campus competitions, debates, intramurals, talent shows, ice cream socials— all of which aim to provide fun, intellectually stimulating opportunities to develop a sense of community within the college and— through the inevitable rivalry between colleges— within the Tufts community as a whole.
