David Tamen poses for a photo on September 6, 2022. He is a Trustee Scholar and became partially deaf when he was 13 and has dedicated most of his efforts since then to helping people with disabilities. To this end, he founded a non-profit with his twin brother called Helping Hands where he oversees the 3D printing of pediatric prosthetics for a clinic in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. . He’s looking forward to leveraging the resources at BU to continue his work to support the disabled poor and doing so much more. Photo by Jackie Ricciardi for Boston University
