Class of 1978 celebrates 25-year anniversary

Members of the 25-year honor class and their spouses pose for a photo during their reunion. Members of their class, which graduated in 1978, have raised more than $12,000 to purchase a dental chair, unit, and stools, and have pledged additional funds for service learning projects.

About 25 members of the class of 1978 (and their spouses) dined together at a private home in Redlands the evening of February 8, during the alumni student convention.

This year the class celebrated its 25th reunion and participants had a most enjoyable time reconnecting, remembering and comparing experiences. Class members traveled from as far away as North Dakota and British Columbia, Canada to attend the homecoming weekend.

The class decided give a gift to the School of Dentistry as a token of appreciation for the excellent education that was provided for them. They are paying for the last-sponsored operatory equipment (chair, unit, and stools) and are supporting the endowment fund for service learning.

So far more than $12,000 has been received by the School, and much more has been pledged.
