A record number of students, faculty, staff, residents, and alumni attended the Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine’s annual alumni reception at the 2019 American Dental Association (ADA) FDI World Congress. More than 90 people attended the event, which was held in the San Francisco Marriott Marquis on Thursday, September 5, 2019, and hosted by Dean Jeffrey W. Hutter and Mrs. Kathleen Hutter.
“When you ask current students why they chose to attend GSDM, many of them will tell you that they just felt at home when they visited the school,” Dean Hutter said to the assembled crowd.
“That community – each and every one of you – is a huge part of what makes the Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine such an excellent school. It means so much to me, as your dean, to see the ongoing commitment you all have to our School and to being an ongoing part of this community we have built together.”
During the two-hour event, guests caught up with classmates and colleagues as they sampled hors d'oeuvres and sipped beverages while soft music and a slideshow depicting the progress made in the GSDM Addition & Renovation Construction Project played in the background.
In remarks delivered during the event, Dean Hutter congratulated all the GSDM faculty and alumni who were recognized during the conference, including the new inductees for the American College of Dentists (ACD) and the International College of Dentists (ICD).
“Induction into these societies is bestowed upon those individuals who have exemplified excellence throughout their careers, and thus it is no surprise to have so many of our alumni and faculty members being inducted this year,” he said.
