After nearly 20 years of serving the Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life as director of community partnerships, Shirley Mark has assumed the newly-created role of assistant dean for diversity and inclusion. Mark will oversee Tisch College’s work in the areas of diversity, equity, inclusion and justice in addition to continuing her responsibilities as director of community partnerships.

Tisch College Dean Dayna Cunningham expressed excitement that Mark, with her considerable experience and community connections, is taking on this role.

“Shirley brings unimpeachable moral authority and deep institutional knowledge about our ongoing work of building multi-racial democracy,” Cunningham wrote in an email to the Daily. “From an institutional perspective, this important step reinforces Tisch College’s commitment to becoming an anti-racist institution and brings us in-line with the organizational structure of other Schools at Tufts.”  https://tuftsdaily.com/news/2022/03/16/shirley-mark-named-tisch-college-assistant-dean-of-diversity-and-inclusion/
