Kappa Class of 1985
Celebrates 20th Reunion
September, 2005
Face
it...we're getting older! The
1985 Graduating Class of the University of Florida College of Dentistry
(Kappa), celebrated their 20 year class reunion at Dental Fall Weekend
in Gainesville on September 9th &10th, 2005. This gave us a time
to party, reflect on the education that we received at the College of
Dentistry and to re-establish bonds that will last a lifetime! If
you were there, enjoy the pictures below. If you weren't there,
Jim Specman says..."LOSER"!
Sure...dental
school was tough. But, instead of reflecting on the negative, take
time to remember the good times, the friends and lifelong relationships
that you established and the excellent professional springboard that the
University of Florida College of Dentistry provided. As you
evaluate your prosperity and twenty-year career, don't forget to give
some thanks to the UFCD...the "vehicle of your success"!
Dental school provided us all
with a variety of experiences...some good and some bad. The bottom line is
that we all received a quality dental education at the University of Florida
College of Dentistry which launched successful and innovative careers for each
of us. I ask that each of us reflect on the positive and give thanks for
the vehicle of our success no matter how difficult the dental school journey.
The University of Florida
College of Dentistry continues to produce graduates with a strong commitment to
Community Service, Clinical Practice and Research. Our school is almost 30
years old. If the University of Florida College of Dentistry is to meet
the challenges of the future, we will need a new facility and maintain the
ability to attract top-notch faculty. We can't do that without your
support and participation. I urge each and every one of you to become
active participants in the Academy of Alumni and Friends. YOU ARE THE
FOUNDATION OF THE GATOR NATION!
You can help by joining the
people above in the Academy of Alumni and Friends or by making a pledge (no
