Dr. Jean Mayer Global Citizenship Award

The Dr Jean Mayer Global Citizenship Award was established in 1993 in honor of Jean Mayer, tenth President of Tufts University (1976-1993), to challenge and inspire our students and the community by bringing to Tufts distinguished scholars and practitioners whose moral courage, personal integrity, and passion for scholarship resonated his dictum that:

"Scholarship, research and teaching must be dedicated to solving the most pressing problems facing the world."

Recipients of the Dr. Jean Mayer Global Citizenship Award customarily deliver a lecture at an Institute for Global Leadership event on the Tufts campus and work with the Institute to create meaningful learning opportunities for its students at their organization or home country.
