Ruth Moy receive an honorary Doctor of

Public Service degree From Tufts University

Ruth Moy, community leader in Boston’s Chinatown neighborhood. Moy’s career in business and human services spans nearly 50 years. Since 1973, Moy has been leading The Greater Boston Chinese Golden Age Center—a nonprofit dedicated to advocacy on behalf of Chinese-speaking Asian seniors—and currently serves as its executive director.

She applied knowledge that she gained as an entrepreneur working in family restaurants to the provision of culturally and linguistically competent care and services to the community’s seniors. Recognizing that political advocacy at both the city and state levels was crucial to securing funds for community services, she has persistently championed the creation of solutions designed to fill gaps in social services and to enhance the elderly. Her advocacy efforts also led to the establishment of a service network focused on the region’s growing elderly population, including a nutrition and hot lunch program, adult day health programs, and senior centers servicing towns and cities in Greater Boston. She will receive an honorary Doctor of Public Service degree. From the Tufts University。
