a Class Note Message from the President
Our dental school is one that is expanding its physical presence throughout Louisiana—providing oral health care services in over twenty-two locations statewide. One project close to my heart is the LSUSD dental-hygiene educational program, a collaborative effort of the Lafayette Health Care Clinic (LCHCC), the LSU School of Dentistry, and the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Dental students also rotate through the clinic to provide much-needed dental care to the working uninsured of Lafayette parish. These accomplishments, and so many others, are the result of the strong leadership of Dean Eric Hovland, the faculty, loyal students, and the dental community. While advancements at LSUSD are ongoing, significant challenges lay ahead. Technology is changing rapidly and the school must upgrade its facilities and infrastructure to address the new learning modalities of the future. As president, my primary goal is to assist the school’s leadership in identifying the financial resources to fund these upgrades. This year, the Alumni Association will launch a comprehensive campaign to renovate and equip the school’s thirty-five-year-old auditoriums for twenty-first century learning. I hope all of our alumni and friends will sincerely consider supporting this important endeavor. As soon as firm plans are in place, we will share them with everyone. Other goals include increasing private and corporate support for our education and research efforts and increasing student participation. Student involvement with our alumni association is growing with the assistance of our dean, helping to prepare them for future leadership roles in the dental profession. We should all be very proud of our school, so giving back should be a priority for all alumni. I urge all to “give back” in some form whether it is in time, finances, or both. Geaux Tigers!
