The Year in Photos 2024

See Tufts photographers’ favorite images this year from across the university’s campuses

How is it that another year has come and now almost gone? Luckily, we have photos to remember the year at Tufts. From the snow in January to flowering trees and community celebration in April to matriculation with new students arriving at the end of summer, and foliage and Halloween in fall—and so much more besides.
