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. Here's a link to the location: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Tisch+Library/@42.4062039,-71.1188766,15z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x46a463527f2c5835?sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjV3M3B0vP4AhWkj4kEHSngAfMQ_BJ6BAhaEAU; and here's a link to what the space looks like: https://jackieferrara.com/projects/alexs-place

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/
