You are invited!

Virtual Dash for Diversity 5K.

On Saturday, September 23rd, 2023, NSU MD will host its 4th 5K Dash for Diversity to celebrate diversity in our communities and to support the building of our pathway programs. Register Here. We will come together to raise funds to support our pathway programs with local high schools. These enrichment programs engage high school students who are 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 pathway programs to help us to continue to grow our engagement with the community. Read about our pipeline programs here.

Where and When: The event will be in person on Saturday, September 23rd, 2023 at the NSU Gold Circle Lake (3300 S. University Drive, Fort Lauderdale, FL, 33328-2004). The event begins at 8:00 am and will end at 12:00 pm sharp. Everyone is welcome to participate!!!!! Awards will be given to the top three female, male, and non-binary finishers in the student and non-student categories. Amazon gift cards will be awarded in the amount of $100 for first place, $50 for second place, and $30 for third place.

We look forward to seeing you at the event. Register Here
