MEETINGS & EVENTS
Spooky Fun
Each October faculty, staff, and residents from our Pediatric
Dentistry training sites compete in a Halloween photo competition
each October. The event not only brings smiles to young dental
patients, but creates team spirit and unity among all 13 training
sites. Photos are posted on our Facebook page. The 2016 contest
winner, based on the greatest number of “likes” was Tampa, Florida.
Congratulations, and thanks to all who participated!
