Ronald J. Dailey, PhD, associate dean for academic affairs
and associate professor, dental educational services, was presented the
University Distinguished Service Award during School of Dentistry commencement
ceremonies on May 26.
Dr. Dailey earned the BA degree in management from Loma Linda University
in 1973; the MA degree in education and counseling from Walla Walla College
in 1975; and the PhD degree in higher and professional education from
the University of Southern California in 1994.
Dr. Dailey’s education uniquely prepared him to serve the School
of Dentistry in the many positions he has held during more than 25 years
of service.
Dr. Dailey has taught with distinction such courses as practice management,
dental practice simulation, team building, human behavior in dentistry,
and personal finance.
His noteworthy facility in the classroom was acknowledged when he was
selected to receive the School’s Teaching Excellence Award.
In 1978, in recognition of his leadership abilities, administration was
added to his workload, and he has served as an outstanding associate dean
for student services, associate dean for admissions, and associate dean
for academic affairs.
His strong academic team leadership was a major force in guiding the School
through its most recent and very successful accreditation.
Dr. Dailey is a member of numerous professional organizations; has been
a Section Officer in the American Association of Dental Schools; was inducted
into the National Dental Honor Society, Omicron Kappa Upsilon; and is
a friend to colleagues, students, and staff.
He has served as chair or member on many University and School committees,
and is a firm believer in team achievement. He is a leader who understands
servant-leadership—a leader whose trademarks are humility, industry,
and dependability.
The University Distinguished Service Award was presented to Dr. Dailey
for his dedicated, loyal service, which has brought honor to the School
of Dentistry, Loma Linda University, and the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
