The Persian Student Dental Association (PSDA) represents a unique cultural and professional community within Boston University's dental school ecosystem. Founded on principles of cultural celebration and community service, PSDA unites Persian dental students and allies who are passionate about preserving and sharing their heritage while contributing to the greater Boston community.
At its core, PSDA is dedicated to creating spaces where Persian traditions, values, and cultural identity are honored and celebrated. The organization operates as a non-political, non-religious platform that welcomes all members of the Boston dental and Persian communities. By hosting annual Persian New Year celebrations and organizing social and civic engagement events, PSDA ensures that the rich heritage of Persian culture remains vibrant and accessible to both dental school students and the broader population in Boston, MA.
What distinguishes PSDA is its commitment to serving the Persian community of greater Boston through meaningful outreach and engagement. Members strive to build an environment of loving-kindness and mutual support, recognizing that cultural organizations within professional schools play a vital role in fostering belonging and community identity. PSDA's work extends beyond celebration to include substantive community service initiatives that reflect the values of dental medicine and social responsibility.
As a student organization at one of the nation's leading dental medicine institutions, PSDA benefits from the collaborative atmosphere and diverse student population that characterize Boston University's Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine. The organization's leadership and faculty advisors work together to ensure that PSDA remains a welcoming, inclusive space where Persian culture is honored and community connections are strengthened throughout Boston, Massachusetts.
