FACE Forward

Members Benefits

As a member of Face Forward, you'll gain access to unique educational opportunities, including workshops and guest speaker events featuring surgeons, speech-language pathologists, and leaders in craniofacial care. These experiences provide insight into medical, emotional, and social aspects of facial differences and are especially valuable for students interested in medicine, dentistry, speech-language pathology, psychology, or public health. Members also benefit from professional development through volunteer hours, leadership positions, and networking with healthcare professionals, faculty, and nonprofit organizations. Beyond academics, Face Forward fosters a strong sense of purpose and community. Members play an active role in supporting individuals and families affected by cleft and craniofacial conditions through impactful fundraising and service efforts. The club offers a variety of social events like movie nights, coffee chats, and member mixers to encourage connection and collaboration. Active members may also be recognized through programs like “Member of the Month” or featured on social media. Additionally, members have a voice in the direction of the club through feedback opportunities and planning committees, and they’ll stay connected via newsletters, group chats, and active social media platforms. With opportunities to grow personally, professionally, and philanthropically, Face Forward offers a welcoming space where students can create lasting impact—together
