Dean Barry R. Bloom received a Leadership Award from the United Nations Association of Greater Boston on April 27. The ceremony took place at the Association's Fourth Annual Consuls Ball at the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel in Boston, MA. The ball is a gala that pays tribute to Boston’s Consular Corps – the diplomatic representatives of more than 50 countries in Boston.
The event supported global education in local schools. In making the award, the Association cited Dean Bloom "for his outstanding efforts in fighting infectious diseases worldwide and promoting and implementing international public health initiatives."
