Introduction/Context/Diagnosis
As former leaders of SCOPE (Student Community Outreach for Public Education) we would like to take time to highlight our positive impact and the extent of our outreach in the Bay Area over the last two years. Our goal is to reflect on and illustrate major challenges returning to ‘normal’ in-person community outreach events following the height of Covid-19. Furthermore, we would like to recapitulate all of the events we accomplished for the term we served as leaders of this student organization. Our main objective is to capture the breadth of communities that we reached last year through a diverse range of ages, cultures, backgrounds, living circumstances, and abilities. As students, finding the time and means in our schedules to dedicate to community outreach has become increasingly difficult. We hope that by presenting on SCOPE’s wide range of accomplishments we can help revitalize the support surrounding student outreach and the impact of oral health education in our surrounding communities. We think that presenting to our peers and faculty during Excellence Day is an important part of maintaining SCOPE’s presence at the school as we look to graduation, and leave the club for students to come. We would like to acknowledge and thank Professor Miller for her mentorship and guidance throughout the term of our leadership and beyond.
