A MESSAGE FROM SELINA ESTEVES
|
|
|
As we mark the close of another academic year, I am proud to
congratulate the Class of 2026 and welcome our newest graduates to the
U of T Dentistry alumni family. We celebrate their achievements and look forward
to
seeing the impact they will make in their communities and across the profession — just
as generations of U of T Dentistry graduates have done before them.
This season has also been a special time to reconnect through
Alumni Reunion and our Great Alumni Event, and to celebrate Pride Month. As we look to July,
we wish you a very happy Canada Day and remember alumni such as Dr. Albert
“Ted” E.K. Hogg, Class of 5T1, a Second World War veteran who served with the
4th Canadian General Hospital from 1940 to 1945 whose class celebrated their 75th reunion
this year. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make these gatherings such
meaningful celebrations of friendship, camaraderie, and belonging.
I hope you enjoy the stories and photo galleries below, which
highlight the people, achievements, and connections that make U of T Dentistry
such
a positive, innovative, and impactful community.
Wishing you and your loved ones a safe, healthy, and enjoyable
summer. We look forward to staying connected and seeing you again soon.
Warmly,
|
