Join Tufts CTSI and the ADAPT coalition for the 9th Annual ADAPT Community Health Symposium, “Rooted in Resilience: Looking Back to Look Forward.”

This half-day, in-person only event will be held on Friday, October 3, 2025, from 8:30AM-1:30PM EST, at the Emerson College Bill Bordy Theater (216 Tremont Street, Boston, MA 02116).

The Symposium convenes researchers, community-based leaders and organizations, students, and representatives across sectors to discuss local community-prioritized health issues and solutions. Together, we will explore lessons learned from grassroots efforts to further the health of our local communities, as well as learn about innovative strategies local scholars and community-based organizations are implementing to advance their work across sectors.

Breakfast and lunch will be provided. Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese) language interpretation will also be available for attendees.
