“A saCertifiedFinancial Planner,Iknowthatestate giftsmakeagreatimpact. Whenwedrewupourestate plans,weknewthatwe couldmakeadifference byincludingTufts.” As associate director of the Tufts Career Center and director of the Tufts Finance Initiative, Chris Di Fronzo, E96, EG04, is one of Tufts’ key ambassadors to the finance world. He advises students, builds relationships with employers and alumni, and coordinates with the Tufts Financial Network to develop student programming. Chris views his role as a natural progression of his involvement at Tufts, starting as a manager at Hillside House—the commuter house—as an undergraduate, and continuing through his participation in the Engineering Networking Night and as an admissions interviewer. After working at engineering software company MathWorks, earning a master’s degree at Tufts Gordon Institute, and spending eight years in the finance sector, he is delighted to put his expertise to work at Tufts. When Chris and his wife, Vada Seccareccia, began discussing their financial future, naming Tufts as a beneficiary of their estate plans was an easy decision. “As recipients of financial aid, we wanted to continue the tradition of giving back to our universities,” says Chris.
