10/3/2022 (Mon) Tufts University, Mental Health Awareness , Somerville, MA

This event is for Tufts University but will be held at a different location. They heard about us from Dog B.O.N.E.S. They have previously worked with them, and reached out to them first. However, they responded that they are not volunteering at outdoor events and suggested that Tufts contact Pets & People. 

1. Location Description: The Tisch Library Rooftop is a really popular and beautiful location on the Tufts Campus. It is fenced, and we'll have numerous booths where students can walk around and engage in activities that promote mental health and wellbeing. Map of Tisch Library at Tufts

In the event of inclement weather, we will use Alumnae Lounge in the Aidekman Arts Center at Tufts. The address is 40 Talbot Ave, Medford, MA 02155.

2. Other pet organizations attending: No

3. Parking arrangements: We will arrange and pay for parking for any visitors driving to the event. There are multiple parking options, including the parking garage at Dowling Hall, located at 419 Boston Ave, Medford, MA 02155.

4. COVID Protocol :  Right now, Tufts is not requiring masking indoors, though it is suggested (and the counseling staff chooses to mask at all times in the workplace). We can require masking for the event, if that makes your therapy dog teams more comfortable. Our policy is continuously being updated to reflect best practices to reduce risk, and can be found at https://coronavirus.tufts.edu/
