OUR DIVERSITY & INCLUSION COMMITTEE

 Our newest committee, Diversity and Inclusion was created to address the diverse population of students at Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine. The committee's focus is on celebrating and raising awareness of the unique differences among our students and community through events like Multicultural night, Family Arts & Crafts, LGBTQ Socials, and the Pride Parade in June. ​

Hello! I'm Brendan, DMD Class of 2021. When I am not in the clinic or lab, you can find me enjoying the outdoors through running, hiking, biking, and other recreational sports. I also appreciate time at home with a coffee in one hand and a book in the other. Through ASDA, I've had the privilege of attending events such as Multicultural Night and the Business Foundations Conference. Goals before leaving Boston include attending a Red Sox game and kayaking on the Charles.

Hi! I'm Shef, and outside of school, I love making music, hiking, movie nights with my friends, and exploring in nature! I love getting the opportunity to share my culture with others and learn about other people's cultures. My favorite ASDA event has been the Big/Little program - I really appreciate the kind and supportive community that BU ASDA has created. ​

​Looking for multicultural resources?

The Diversity and Inclusion Committee is a strong advocate of Cultural Diversity. This committee strives to celebrate the various cultures and ethnicities within the student body, while working to transcend any pre-existing cultural borders by engaging students in activities which embrace the cultural heterogeneity of the student population. By working with the Boston University student community, we are able to foster cultural sensitivity and awareness, while creating events encompassing Multiculturalism and Diversity. To learn more about our resources, contact our Committee Chair, Vice Chair or click on the links below.
