The week of Feb. 8, BUSM will celebrate Rebecca Lee Crumpler’s 190th birthday with a virtual symposia and discussions to raise additional scholarship funds in her name for students demonstrating financial need, with first preference for Black women and second preference for students from underrepresented communities who are Black or Hispanic/Latinx.
The event, established in 2017, invites medical students to interact with faculty and alumni to learn about different career pathways through conversations and connections.
This year’s festivities included an open house, student-led campus tours, the Distinguished Alumni Awards Ceremony and Luncheon, and of course, the alumni reception and class dinners held at the Sheraton Boston.
