Tufts Conference and Event Services is a division of the university; set up over 35 years ago to be responsible for coordinating summer activities and academic programs, as well as organizing and running special events for the university.  During the summer months, Tufts Conference and Event Services transforms the campus into an international conference center. For 14 weeks, starting with Commencement, people from all over the world with special interests and academic objectives spend anywhere from two days to six weeks studying everything from English as a Second Language to Global Leadership and International Relations. Tufts Conference and Event Services works with these groups in order to make sure that all their conference needs are met.
