November 2024

Hi Athlete Ally!

We are a little over halfway through the fall semester, and we are excited to see all these teams making post-season! Thank you to those who have come to our events this past semester, and we are excited to see more of you at them this month!

First, I have attached the Student-Athlete Information Form - HERE - for athletes to use their preferred pronouns for the Tufts Athletic Department for media and broadcasts of Tufts Athletics. Currently, the pronouns used come from the last time each athlete filled out this form, which is most likely freshman year. Please fill out the pronouns category of the survey to ensure that the department correctly identifies your pronouns. You can put "NA" for the rest of the sections in the survey. Please pass this information and link to your team, thank you!

Events this month:

November 4 (TODAY): AOC x Athlete Ally Trivia Night at 7-8:30pm at the JCC 160

November Snack Social: More details to come!

December 5th: Harvard Athlete Ally Social @Harvard (Time: TBD, more info to come)
