Committee forms to continue Tisch College dean search

“Active citizenship should not be when I step into Tisch College only,” she said. “I want active citizenship that continues past the doors of Tisch.”

Holyfield believes the appointment of a permanent dean could revive interest in exploring definitions of civic engagement and active citizenship.

“I think it’s something Tufts students are passionate about, regardless of if you’re a Tisch Scholar or not,” she said. “Most consider themselves active citizens, so it’s important that each student has an opinion on what active citizenship is and can better utilize that with the power we have.”
