“Tufts ASDA Wellness is hosting Book Club! Our next meeting on Wednesday, March 31st at 7:30 PM. Book Club brings together dental students from across the district to read a curated list of books and indulge in intellectually stimulating conversation. This platform allows students to broaden their perspective on various topics ranging from personal self to world events and gives an opportunity to build relationships with one another. As the club grows, we hope to introduce prizes, speakers, and much more! In our next meeting we will discuss our book of the month The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, unveil the next book, and have a PRIZE GIVEAWAY for one lucky member! We hope you’ll read along with us each month and share your thoughts on the book!”

It’s the last day of Black History month, and HS

It’s the last day of Black History month, and HSDM ASDA’s social media committee member @kiwi_steph has prepared a wonderful newsletter discussing the history of this month with a focus on Black dental providers.
•
Click on the link in bio to read the full article!
•
A small snippet from the newsletter:
“Every February, people in the United States celebrate and recognize the history and contributions of Black Americans that have been marginalized from the mainstream due to our country’s legacy of slavery and systemic racism. We wanted to take a moment to look at how we can continue to recognize Black dental providers and aspiring dentists in dentistry today.”
