Vision: To allow BUSM students to use their creative powers for good.

Goals:

1. To give back to the BMC community through our love of knitting and crocheting. We will create pieces (such as scarves and hats) for donation to aid the BMC community.
2. To foster a sense of community across the BU medical campus by bringing students together in weekly knitting circles.
3. To promote student well-being by providing a creative, fun, and healthy way to de-stress!
