Frequently Asked Questions for Faculty - Tufts 2004 Summer Scholars

Which mentors can create a profile and submit opportunities on this site?

Faculty of Tufts University (all campuses), as well as Tufts hospital/clinical faculty/mentors, are allowed to create profiles and submit opportunities on this site.

Multiple students have contacted me about my listing. Can I invite them all to submit an application, or do I have to choose one?

You must apply with only one student, and submit one joint application. It is up to you to decide which student to apply with. Many faculty members will use criteria such as graduation year, prior experience, or research interests to select the student.

What if I already have a student with whom I would like to work? (Perhaps on a Senior Honors Thesis, etc.)

In order to ease data collection and stay consistent in our practices, we ask that mentors still create a profile and list these types of opportunities with this site. The mentor may then invite the student to submit an application.

I have submitted my opportunity, but I don't see it listed in the Browse section for students. What's wrong?

All opportunities are submitted for approval before being listed on this site. If it takes more than 24 hours to appear, please contact: kate.nash@tufts.edu.
