Organization and faculty
Established in 1978, the Cummings School is under the supervision of a dean, appointed by the president and the provost, with the approval of the Trustees of Tufts College (the university's governing board). The dean is responsible for all aspects of the school's operations, including medical education, admissions, faculty appointments, clinical relationships, and various affiliated research centers and institutes.
The school was named in honor of William S. and Joyce M. Cummings, founders of Cummings Foundation, after a $50 million commitment to the school in 2005. William graduated from Tufts University in 1958 with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics.
