Happy #TransDayofVisibility! Currently on display in Barnum Hall are monoprints by Rocky Prull, a student @SMFAatTufts. The exhibit was created for #TransDayofRemembrance to honor & mourn trans people who have been killed & to recognize & celebrate those who are still with us.

One of the most impactful courses I took at Tufts was in the @ExCollege. I only wish I lived locally and could offer to teach - to give back - in hopes that others might have such an experience. -DVR (E’85, G’87) 🐘

Teaching an in-person class at @TuftsUniversity /@ExCollege (even masked and socially distanced!) is one of the best parts of 2021 for me!

The class was “Frauds, Fantasies & Fallacies” taught by Lauren Sieg, a visiting lecturer at Tufts @ExCollege from @peabodymuseum. In 2019, I tried to reach out to say thank you, but never heard back. If anyone in the Twitterverse knows Lauren, pls let her know she had impact! /3
