The Aspen Institute

Retired General Stanley McChrystal, chair of the leadership council of the Aspen Institute Franklin Project, today will help Tufts University officially launch Tufts 1+4, a bridge year program that will offer incoming students of all economic backgrounds the opportunity to engage in a year of full-time national or international service before beginning the traditional college experience. 

Tufts and its Jonathan M. Tisch College of Citizenship and Public Service will kick off the program with a 5 pm Symposium on Service and Leadership on the university’s Medford/Somerville, Massachusetts, campus, at which McChrystal will be the keynote speaker.
