  1. Good morning Sandro,
    I would love the opportunity to meet with you to share about the neighborhood in which BU resides and has great influence – Allston-Brighton. The Allston Brighton Health Collaborative is a collaboration of organizations devoted to working together to promote and improve the health and wellbeing of the communities of Allston and Brighton. We achieve this by working in partnership and by engaging the residents of Allston and Brighton in order to identify the needs of the community and to create programming to address those needs. There are so many opportunities for BU SPH to work in concert and cohesion with the public health efforts happening locally. The disparities of housing, education, employment, and access that you speak of occur down the block. We need not look far to find opportunities for students to learn public health in practice and for neighborhoods and institutions to work together for collective good. I look forward to connecting with you.
