  • Summary

  • What is a changemaker?

    This episode highlights the beginning of Jack's career as a changemaker. We dive into his leadership as a student activist in the 1970s. He and his best friend, Dr. Jon Nash, dragged the NYU dental school kicking and screaming into the culture wars. Along the way, they helped found the American Student Dental Association and the anti-war protest group Health Professions for Peace. Their work helped to reshape the dental profession and give dental students more input into their dental education.
