Dean's Community Service Award Recognition Breakfast
On May 6, 2025, the recipients of the Dean’s Community Service Award were honored for their outstanding dedication to serving communities across Greater Boston and around the globe. The annual award, now in its 26th year, celebrates the enduring commitment of faculty, trainees, staff, and students from Harvard Medical School and Harvard School of Dental Medicine to meaningful public service. This year, six individuals were recognized for their exceptional outreach efforts and the impactful work they do with organizations to which they generously contribute their time and talents. During a special Awards Recognition Breakfast held at Countway Library, representatives from the award recipients’ partner organizations were also celebrated and presented with certificates of recognition.
