Beginning Sept. 1, BU Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine (GSDM) student Matthew Green DMD 15 began a one year term as the New England Regional Representative for the American Association for Dental Research (AADR) National Student Research Group (NSRG).

Green said, “As modern dental medicine evolves rapidly, it is critical to have a solid core of young dental researchers. As a regional representative, it is important for me to gather support and people willing to tackle the most pressing issues facing dentistry.”
Green continued, “My role as a regional representative is critical in keeping an open line of communication between the national and local levels. I am excited for my role, ensuring my fellow dental researchers have proper guidance, support, and funding for the research of oral and craniofacial sciences.”
Dean Jeffrey W. Hutter said, “Congratulations to Matthew on his appointment as NSRG New England Regional Representative. I am proud to have a student from our School take this important role of communicating on a national level on behalf of the entire New England region.”
