Pierre Omidyar, aTufts graduate who made billions of dollars after starting eBay has given $10 million to his alma mater to create a college dedicated to public service. The new college of citizenship will not have a campus building, nor will it confer degrees. Rather, its goal is to infuse every aspect of university life with a public service component. Administrators are evaluating the current course offerings to see which might be cross-referenced under public policy. In addition, 24 incoming students devoted to service will be Omidyar scholars, and the college will confer grants to students, staff members or professors with ideas for community service projects.
