SERVICE: HIGHLIGHTS SPECIAL OLYMPICS
Volunteers from Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine (GSDM) and Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences joined together in June 2022 to provide services to athletes participating in the Special Olympics Massachusetts Summer Games. The initiative, known as Healthy Athletes® Special Smiles®, included oral screenings, health education, prevention services, and referrals to athletes who needed follow-up care. Athletes also received individually fitted mouth guards and goodie bags with oral hygienerelated products.
GLOBAL DAYS OF SERVICE
Anu Rajasekaran DMD 97 organized a trip on April 23, 2022, to a dental clinic in Ensenada Mexico through University of California San Diego Flying Samaritans. Dentist volunteers treated patients in the fully equipped clinic, while other healthcare volunteers worked with the medical team.
Every year in April, Boston University hosts Global Days of Service—a month of community service that brings alumni, students, faculty, staff, and the many other members of the BU community together. This year, members of the GSDM community participated in a wide range of volunteer events, both in person and virtually.
