First-Gen Students
At Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine, we celebrate diversity in all its forms. As a first-generation student, you bring a unique perspective and determination that enriches our community. Whether you’re navigating the ins and outs of dental school or seeking support to thrive academically and personally, we’re here to empower you every step of the way.
We understand that being the first in your family to pursue higher education, either as an undergraduate or graduate student, can come with its own set of challenges.
The Newbury Center is dedicated to supporting and celebrating first-generation undergraduate, graduate, and professional students at Boston University.
