We have established a staff-student liaison committee which allows students to air concerns so that we may address these areas with a view to improving all aspects of their educational experience. First year students require teeth for some laboratory courses, however, they find these teeth difficult to collect. For the past, the Alumni Office sent a mailing to most of Ontario's dentists requesting them to send in extracted teeth to the faculty. The response was marvelous. Each year, the executive selects individuals who, by their contributions to society, have brought honour and distinction to themselves and by so doing have added distinction to our profession.
Alumni receive a thrice yearly edition of our journal entitled Alumni Today .
This publication is designed to keep all alumni abreast of what is happening with staff and students at the faculty as well as what events have occurred in the past and present lives of alumni. We are gratified that the widespread response of our readers is so positive. This year we have inaugurated a hospitality suite during the ODA convention. We hope that alumni will use it as a gathering place to visit with their friends and classmates. Your comments and questions are welcomed.
