Marylou Sudders (CAS’76, SSW’78, Hon.’22): Class of 2022 Boston University Baccalaureate Address

“As the person at the epicenter of this state’s pandemic response, I am grateful to Boston University and President Brown for leadership and commitment to the health and safety not only of the University’s community but to the entire state,” said Marylou Sudders (CAS’76, SSW’78, Hon.’22), Massachusetts Secretary of Health and Human Services at Boston University’s Baccalaureate Service, Sunday, May 22, 2022. In the earliest days of the pandemic in 2020, Sudders said, a small group of Massachusetts college and university presidents, including BU’s Robert A. Brown, gathered virtually to piece together the facts and to join with the state to rapidly develop testing capacity and protocols. They also collaborated to ensure that the healthcare system stayed strong and partnered to enact “cohesive and coherent” communication strategies. Sudders said the pandemic has brought home four lessons: “that our globe is a very small place….and that we collectively have a local and global responsibility for one another”; that systemic effects of racism permeate our country and our nation’s institutions, as COVID has had a disproportionate impact on people of color; the importance of behavioral health alongside physical health; and the value of interdisciplinary scientific collaborations in developing vaccines and teaching the highly competitive healthcare industry to work together.
