Alumni and students tee up for scholarships
The VCU School of Dentistry kicked off the 2012 Reunion and Alumni Weekend with some friendly competition for a good cause. More than 120 alumni, students, parents and sponsors participated in the seventh annual Alumni/Student Golf Invitational to benefit class activities and the School of Dentistry General Scholarship Fund.
This scholarship is available to all currently enrolled dental and dental hygiene students in good academic standing. In the spring of 2012, the school awarded 37 scholarships to deserving students, up from 20 the previous year. That number will continue to grow thanks to the $30,000 raised through this year’s golf tournament.
Dr. John Doswell (D.D.S. ’79), chair of the MCV Foundation Board of Trustees and incoming rector of the VCU Board of Visitors, served as the esteemed master of ceremonies for the tournament. The 30-member dental and dental hygiene student committee spent countless hours planning in the year leading up to the tournament. Their hard work and effort paid off. Everyone enjoyed the beautiful spring day, and four excited dental students came home with the coveted trophy.
