Board of Trustees
The Loma Linda University Board of Trustees, meeting in full session on
Monday, May 19, 1999, approved the following items:
Harold E. Schnepper, DMD, one of the founding faculty of the School
of Dentistry, was named emeritus professor of dentistry.
Frederick A. Berry, DDS, (restorative dentistry), Ming-Way Lee,
DDS, (restorative dentistry-International Dentist Program), and Daniel
E. Tan, DDS, (restorative dentistry) were promoted to full professor
status.
Douglass B. Roberts, DDS, professor of restorative dentistry, was
approved as chair of the department.
Endodontics
Lynn Diaz, DDS, PG'99, graduate student in endodontics, was listed
in the 1998-1999 edition of Who's Who Among American Universities and
Colleges. Earning a place in this publication is based on academic
achievement (students must place in the top 10 percent of their class),
service to the community, participation in extracurricular activities,
and potential for continued success.
Periodontics
Thorarinn Sigurdsson, DDS, professor of periodontics, and his wife
Hildur Karadottir, RDH, dental hygiene instructor, left on June
4 for Norway. He has accepted a position at the University of Bergen.
They were here for seven years and we are going to miss them both very
much.
