Graduation with Distinction in

Community Engagement

 

The purpose of the honorific award of Graduation with Distinction in Community Engagement is to recognize students at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine who have made a significant impact in the community and progress toward a career as a social justice advocate. Distinction means that the work was community-informed and carried out in collaboration with and through the community itself. The impact is defined as the likelihood for the project to have a measurable, sustained, powerful influence on promoting the health and well-being of the community.  Please visit the following links to learn more:

 

*Please note, students can earn only one distinction and cannot be awarded both distinctions in research and community engagement. If you are unsure which distinction is a better match for the work you have completed, please reach out to Dr. Martinez and Dr. Stern to discuss your project.
