NSU MD Holds Virtual Run for Pipeline Programs

NSU MD invites you to celebrate diversity in our communities and to support the building of our pipeline programs. NSU MD will host its 2nd Virtual Dash for Diversity 5K from September 25 to October 3, 2021.

We will come together virtually, across Florida and from coast to coast, to raise funds to support our pipeline programs with local middle and high schools. These enrichment programs engage middle and high school students who are socioeconomically disadvantaged and underrepresented in medicine through mentorship and various science, technology, engineering, and math related activities.

Through these programs, we aim to encourage a diverse group of students to consider a career in medicine, as well as to give them the support that they need to make these dreams a reality. Funds raised from the 5K will go directly into these pipeline programs to help us continue to grow our engagement with the community. Read about our pipeline programs. 

The 2021 Virtual Running of the NSU MD 5K Dash for Diversity can be run at the time and location that works best for you between the beginning and ending dates of the event.

Get details on the event.
