On December 9, 2024, the Lewis Katz School of Medicine’s Student Diversity Council hosted its third annual North Philly Flex, a vibrant event dedicated to uplifting Black and Brown entrepreneurs in the North Philadelphia community. Vendors lined the Lewis Katz School of Medicine’s Medical Education and Research Building Commons, showcasing everything from handmade jewelry to flavorful culinary creations while fostering a sense of community and empowerment.
