Class Reun-Zooms at the 2021 PDC

March 10, 2021

Class Reun-Zooms at the 2021 PDC

This year, PDC looked different than in years past, with the Virtual Experience that was held March 4-6, 2021. UBC Faculty of Dentistry was represented by TeamSmile members from Continuing Dental Education, Development & Alumni, Admissions, Student Services, the Dental Hygiene Program, and the UBC Geriatric Dentistry Program. In this new virtual format, we were able to have many more faculty and staff members than usual join us in the booth. Special guests included: Dr. Denise Laronde, Co-director of the DHDP; Susan Schmitz, Lecturer; Carrie Krekoski, Clinical Assistant Professor; Shunhau To, Program Manager, UBC Geriatric Dentistry Program, and Jane Merling, Assistant Dean, Development & Alumni.

We also had several alumni that dropped by to say hello, and we were so glad to see you! We can’t wait until we are able to gather in person again – hopefully soon! Thank you to everyone that stopped by!

If you happened to miss us at PDC this year, you can watch the message from the Dean welcoming everyone to the booth:

and, you can also see what our virtual booth looked like:

The booth also included resources on Continuing Dental Education programming, the Dental Hygiene Program, and updated information on the Faculty.

 


Class Reun-zooms!

A classic component of PDC is our milestone reunion program and this year, due to the pandemic, all of our reunion programming was held over Zoom. It was so much fun to see everyone that came out to the class “reun-zooms”, and more importantly, we’re so glad you all got a chance to reconnect with each other! Even though we were not able to gather in person this year, we were so glad to facilitate space for these reunions. Cheers to you, classes of 2016, 2011, 1996, 1991, 1986 and 1981 on your class milestones this year!
