A golden anniversary

A golden anniversary

The renowned musician and much loved Western University stalwart Rick McGhie, as well as Dentistry faculty, staff, students and alumni gathered together in March 2015 to kick off the year-long celebration of Schulich Dentistry’s 50th anniversary. The golden anniversary is being celebrated throughout the year, with events and activities commemorating 50 years of exceptional education, innovative research and the development of socially responsible leaders.

A special celebration weekend took place in early September with a barbecue, open house, tours of the School and a Gala Dinner.

In honour of the anniversary, Dr. Dave Kenney, DDS’70, a member of the first graduating class, is co-authoring a book about the history of dentistry at Western and completing a documentary.
