African Diaspora United (ADU)
About
The African Diaspora United club of Tufts University School of Dental Medicine is committed to the unification and celebration of the contributions made to oral care by all people hailing from the African diaspora. The mission of our club is to broadly encourage dental students from the continent of Africa in their endeavors towards a dental career while committing to uplift and fellowship. Here at Tufts University, we strive to increase minority presence, recruitment, and retention at TUSDM, help to create an academic and social environment suitable for academic excellence, and fulfill our commitment to serving the underserved. Lastly , we are committed to showcasing and sharing our culture with the TUSDM community.
