BEYOND ACADEMICS: TUFTS STUDENT RESOURCES AT TUFTS (TSR)
Tufts Student Resources ("TSR") is a semi-autonomous, non-profit,
student-run business organization founded in 1981 at Tufts University whose
primary goals include:
- Providing the University community with needed services and goods.
- Offering employment and work-study opportunities to Tufts University students.
- Providing a medium in which students can gain business management
and entrepreneurial experience without the investment of personal capital.
For the past 26 years, Tufts Student Resources has been providing the Tufts
community with the goods, services, employment, and business experience all
while maintaining its status of being student-run. Advised by a Board of
Directors, consisting of representatives from the Dean of Students, Student
Activities, Student Employment, and other departments of the University, TSR has
established itself as entirely financially independent of the University.
In addition, TSR has become one of the most important organizations on
campus. TSR currently encompasses seven divisions declaring annual revenues of
$180,000 while employing approximately 60 students.
