The Department of Oral Maxillofacial Surgery is pleased to announce the promotion of Sobeyda Smallridge to Supervisor, effective June 21. Sobie has been invaluable as Assistant Supervisor in charge of the "back office." She provides strong support to Clinic Manager Zolton Horvath, substitutes for him when needed, and is the glue that holds the OMS Clinic together.
