Annual Reports
2020-2021
The fifth and final year of our strategic plan was summed up in this final annual report. As our in-person operations normalized a bit, some event reporting resurfaced and more activities ramped up. Despite a lingering lack of in-person photos, we still pushed out compelling messages around our strategic aims and showed that no matter what happens, our scholarship and public impact moves forward.
2019-2020
Although this report covered July 1, 2019-June 30, 2020, global events that took over 2020 created a new momentum for strategic storytelling. As we navigated some of the toughest issues we've ever had to address in the public sphere, we reached for stories that showed our responsiveness and impact during this trying time. We were striving for transparency and addressing the need to change while maintaining a positive public image.
I'm proud that when acting as one of the main stewards of the school's public voice, and working with Tufts University, we pivoted from promoting to listening. All online interactions through our channels, while passionate at times, were handled with openness, understanding, and diplomacy in our public voice.
2018-2019
We illustrated the cost savings of including healthy foods in Medicare/Medicaid benefits and honored the inaugural recipients of the Jean Mayer Prize who are leaders in the field of nutrition science and policy.
2017-2018
We told the story of our first food and nutrition entrepreneurship competition, highlighted faculty achievements, and covered the Boston Marathon as run by the Director of Advancement and Development at Tufts University. The marathon bibs are provided by our School's long-standing relationship with John Hancock Insurance and raise money for the Friedman School of Nutrition each year.
2016-2017
This was the school's first official annual report and the first digital-only (not an online PDF) annual report produced from a school at the university. Instead of overprinting a document that many would typically glance at and recycle, we went the sustainable route to create a living report that could be easily shared online through all channels. If a donor or audience segment was only interested in one area of the school, we could send them a targeted story link to highlight impact.
