Dean Elmore

Photo collage of Dean Elmore featuring five photos in black and white, with every other tinted red. In the first photo, Elmore, a middle-aged Black man, wears a quarter zip and holds a special book and looks contemplative. Second, Elmore, in a suit, runs in front of Agganis with a white BU flag. At center, Elmore is seen with his iconic bow tie, smiling, during what looks like senior breakfast. Fourth, Elmore, wearing a snorkeling mask, jumps off a launch boat and into the Charles River with his hands extended up. At right, Elmore, dressed in a convocation robe, smiles as he hands a young Black man an award, at left. Photos by Kalman Zabarsky, Cydney Scott and Kristyn Ulanday
