If you know anyone in the faculty, student or staff category who has done exceptional community service for an agency or has taken the initiative to start a program to provide a needed service, please nominate that person for the award. The Dean's Award for the Support and Advancement of Women Staff will take place for the third time this year. The Joint Committee on the Status of Women JCSW organizes the award. If you know someone who has contributed to the development of staff giving them support through mentoring and coaching, helping staff through difficult situations, or being particularly creative in finding ways to help others, please nominate them for this award. Traditionally, HSDM faculty students, staff and faculty attend the event and give out toothbrushes and toothpaste to young children.
Volunteers use models to demonstrate the correct way to brush teeth.
Harvard School of Dental Medicine dentists will staff both sites. The HSDM has joined Boston University School of Dental Medicine, The Forsyth Institute and Tufts University School of Dental Medicine to form the Oral Cancer Partnership. The Partnership plans to make the general public more aware of the importance of early oral cancer prevention and detection. Free oral cancer screening is a specific way to increase the awareness about this disease. Predoctoral students who would like to volunteer to participate in the oral cancer screenings, please contact Grace Elson at 432-3076 .
