From October 16-18, the Faculty of Dentistry took part in AV¾ãÀÖ²¿ Homecoming 2014.

After hosting a table at the AV¾ãÀÖ²¿ Alumni Dinner on Thursday night, the Faculty hosted the 2014 JD McLean Lecture on Friday afternoon. More than 130 alumni, faculty, staff, students and friends heard from world-renowned neurosurgeon and former Halifax resident Dr. Ivar Mendez, who delivered a riveting talk on strategies to fight poverty.

On Saturday morning, a handful of our Faculty Family members joined Dean Boran at the Tiger Fun Run through the AV¾ãÀÖ²¿ campus, while others attended the Atlantic Dental Education Weekend in the Dentistry Building. Later that evening, more than 140 guests gathered at the Dentistry Alumni Dinner at The Lord Nelson Hotel & Suites. AV¾ãÀÖ²¿ Dentistry partnered with Henry Schein Canada to raise over $10,000 for the North End Community Health Centre Fund.
