Letter From The Editors

To our beloved family and friends, We present in this edition of On the Cusp: “Saved by the Bell”. This metaphor is typically reserved for boxers pushing with all their might to make it to the next round To us, it represents the strong resolve of our ASDA student body, and our willingness to propel forward. In the face of responsibility, adversity and challenges, we thrive When we are tired and feel like we can’t push further, we go beyond what is expected of us. This is what drives the culture of the dental students at WesternU. This issue is one of many to highlight the student’s whose strength, passion and determination has further ignited them to become world class dentists. We have curated a collection of snapshots from our dental students and staff in several phases of their dental journey. Those who are beginning, those with the experience to impart wisdom, and those who have traveled on the road less taken, who can find themselves (belonging) in each of these personal accounts. We are very proud to present moments, such as these that define great professional and personal growth.
