Congratulations to the Class of 2019!
The DDS Class of 2019 said goodbye to their student scrubs this past Friday, June 7th as they received their Doctor of Dental Surgery degrees and practice licenses.
The day began with the Licensing and Awards ceremony, held at Hart House, and attended by special guests Dr. David Stevenson (immediate past president, Ontario Dental Association) and Dr. Flavio Turchet (President, Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario).
In the afternoon, students and their families strolled over to Convocation Hall, and were presented to Chancellor Rose Patten and Dean Daniel Haas for admittance to their degrees, where they joined students graduating from the Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy. This year’s Convocation speaker was Dr. Leslie Dan, generous benefactor to the University of Toronto. In addition to the 120 students receiving their DDS degrees, 4 students from our Faculty received their graduate degrees.
