Getting involved with the Alumni Leadership Council, and participating on its board, has been a real privilege for me. It is a way for me to stay informed and involved with the School of Dentistry, and a way for me to be in contact with so many of the students. Their enthusiasm for our profession is contagious. The future of dentistry is in good hands!
