2023 Annual Faculty & Staff Awards Recipients
Honoring the outstanding service of faculty and staff members is an important aspect of our School. Congratulations to these 2023 recipients!
Providing an equitable education, one student at a time.
Diversity and equity are essential to the development of future leaders in healthcare and research; they enrich intellectual development, academic discourse, patient care, and research. That is why our office commits to developing innovative programs that educate, recruit, and retain a diverse, multicultural community of faculty, students, staff, and trainees.
The School has been committed to inclusion and diversity since our founding—both at the school and through our community outreach. Created by a merger of Boston University and the New England Female Medical College in 1873, we were the first coeducational medical school in the nation. Our alumni include the first black female physician and the first Native American physician. It’s more than just talk for us. Recruiting and retaining a heterogeneous student body and faculty are a priority. We firmly believe in diversity of culture, race, and gender—and also ideas, solutions, and perspectives as critical components of achieving excellence at Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine.
A message from Angelique Harris, PhD, Associate Dean for Diversity & Inclusion
Black History Month provides us with the opportunity to consider the many ways Black Americans have contributed to American life, history, and culture. Since 1976, as a nation, we have come together each February to celebrate the achievements of Black Americans, while also recognizing the continued struggles for equity, inclusion, and racial justice. We begin this Black History month, just after the release of the video recorded beating on Tyre Nichols by Memphis police. This brutal assault, yet another devastating reminder of the continued need for justice and police accountability, serves as a reminder of the toll that these assaults have on our mental health, particularly for Black Americans.
This Black History Month, I urge you to enjoy the many activities and educational events happening in and around Boston...
