F E AT U R E D

This is the first time that I have addressed you in the pages of this magazine as your dean ad interim – and I must say, it is an honor. I continue to be impressed not only by the caliber of our school’s alumni – I expected that, having observed your excellence as students and residents in my role as associate dean for academic affairs! – but also by the strength of the alumni community and your ongoing commitment to our school. Nowhere is that support more evident than in the recently completed three-year, $115 million Addition & Renovation Construction project. Before I dive into some of the details of this transformative project, let me just say that we could not have done this without you – without your support, your creative ideas, your philanthropic commitment. As alumni, you may not get the opportunity to use the new spaces and new technology on a day-to-day basis – but this project is just as much yours as it is our current students, residents, faculty, and staff’s. I think it’s safe to say that today our school is unrecognizable from its former self, in the best possible way. From the exterior – with a new modern façade that is finally aligned in look and feel to the innovative and cutting-edge work happening inside – to the state-of-the-art Patient Treatment Center and Simulation Learning Center, to the student-centered collaborative and learning spaces tucked throughout the building, our school has been transformed into a model facility for dental education and oral healthcare. As you know, we take great pride in the fact that GSDM was the first dental school in the country to implement a “fully digital” vision for providing oral healthcare to our patients and for educating our students. In part, that’s because we believe we must be ahead of the industry as a whole in order to ensure that we are educating students who will be leading practitioners in the digital dentistry era. It is not enough to educate our students on the techniques and technologies that are widely used in the industry today – we must educate them on the techniques and technologies of the future. Our newly renovated and expanded facility will support us in achieving this mission. In closing, thank you all so much for the support you have demonstrated for this project and for our school. The improvement and expansion of the school’s clinical facility ensures that we will be able to provide our patients – patients who often are among the most underserved populations in Boston – with the best oral healthcare possible while incorporating these advanced technologies into our clinical curriculum, maintaining the school’s position as a global leader in dental education. I am looking forward to welcoming you back to our school and to seeing your faces as you take in the remarkable changes. Cataldo W. Leone, DMD, DMedSc, FACD, FICD Dean ad interim

THE NEW & IMPROVED GSDM

CSDM COMPLETES ADDITION & RENOVATION PROJECT PHOTOGRAPHS BY ANTON GRASSL

ack in the winter of 2017, we wrote in the pages of this magazine about a proposed project that would expand and renovate the Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine (GSDM) facility, improving both the educational and patient experience at the school and enhancing the school’s already-stellar global reputation. Now, four years, seven issues of Impressions, two deans, and a global pandemic later, the school that stands on the corner of East Newton and Albany Streets is almost unrecognizable. The three-year, $115 million Addition and Renovation Project added about 48,000 additional square feet to the school, including a seven-story addition on the west side and a two-story one on the north side, and has been entirely reclad in a modern façade, finally aligning the exterior look of the school to the cutting-edge work occurring within its walls. “Our aim is to provide our students an education that seamlessly incorporates cutting-edge technology in a modern learning environment,” said Dr. Cataldo Leone, GSDM dean ad interim. “The school, especially our Patient Treatment Center and the Simulation Learning Center, is now equipped with state-of-the art digital dentistry technology and laboratory resources.” “We’ve always had world-class faculty and excellent students, but we needed worldclass space to go along with that,” said David Lustbader CAS 86 DMD 86, who chairs the GSDM Dean’s Advisory Board. “Now, we can treat patients and teach our students and residents in the space they all deserve.” Since construction first started in 2018, we’ve kept the GSDM community updated as the school grew and transformed—now, we’re excited to share the completed project.

CL INICA L SPACES The Addition and Renovation Project revolutionized the predoctoral Patient Treatment Center, adding 28 chairs, for a total of 100 dental chairs, and outfitting each patient operatory with state-of-the-art technology. The renovated and expanded Patient Treatment Center also includes cuttingedge laboratories featuring digital radiography with two-dimensional and three-dimensional imaging and robust five-axis milling units. “The practice of dentistry continues to evolve rapidly due to the innovative advances in dental research and materials science,” said Alexander Bendayan PROS 05, assistant dean for digital dentistry development and ad interim chair of the Department of Restorative Sciences

& Biomaterials. “This project provides the perfect platform to integrate these innovative technologies and plan for a fast-pacing future, allowing us to upgrade as needed.” The improvement and expansion of the school’s clinical facility ensures that it will be able to provide its patients – patients who often are among the most underserved populations in Boston – with the best oral healthcare possible while incorporating these advanced technologies into its clinical curriculum, maintaining the school’s position as a global leader in dental education. “It’s really rewarding for my patients who have been coming to the school for many years to experience the new clinic,” Trini Roxas DMD 22 said. “A lot of

them express how happy they are that everything is nice and new, and how easy it is to navigate the new spaces.” According to John Guarente DMD 89, associate dean for clinical affairs, the project has expanded the physical space for working and learning in the clinic, thus allowing the school to bring students into the clinic earlier in their dental school experience. “With the increased square footage within our operatories, we easily accommodate the early learner who is taking advantage of the experience to see how dentistry is done, prior to being the provider,” Guarente said. “Our patients [can] now see the early learners as being part of the oral healthcare team and the transitions from student to student will improve.”

S I M U L AT I O N L E A R N I N G C E N T E R One of the project’s primary goals was to integrate the Simulation Learning Center (SLC) into the dental school, moving it from its previous home in a building across Albany Street. The new 117-station center, which opened in Februrary 2020, is located on the building’s third floor and is outfitted with state-of-the-art technology, including simulators, advanced microscopes, intraoral scanners, ultrasonic scalers, electric handpieces, curing units for composite restorations, and a high-speed evacuation system. “Our new SLC allowed us to seamlessly integrate the education model into a patient treatment center experience,” Bendayan said. The technologies and instruments available in the SLC match what

students will use once they enter the Patient Treatment Center, ensuring that students’ preclinical education is a true simulation of what they will encounter in the clinical portion of their experience. “Our new SLC provides the newest technologies in dental practice,” said Celeste Kong PROS 84 DMD 87, professor and chair, Department of General Dentistry. “We provide not just the ability to do digital scans of tooth preparations, so that we can mill restorations in the SLC, we also provide microscopes to help students with their simulations for endodontic treatment. These microscopes could also be used to help students check the margins of their preparations and the milled restorations.”

Integrating the SLC into the school’s primary facility better supports the continuum of student learning and strengthens the connections between the didactic, preclinical, and clinical portions of students’ education. Prajakta Joshi DMD AS 22 said that the technology in the SLC, including Cerec scanners with the PrepCheck system, which provides detailed feedback to students regarding undercuts or degree of taper on crown preps, for example, helped ease the transition into providing clinical care. “The equipment and technologies have helped me to learn at my own pace and get tailored longitudinal feedback, which has helped me gain confidence and become competent before entering the clinic,” Joshi said.

C O L L A B O R AT I V E SPACES Another primary goal of the project was to integrate collaborative spaces throughout the building’s seven floors, creating spaces where students could gather with their peers. From a second-floor resident office space to study nooks tucked into corners, the renovated space has no shortage of places for students to study, hang out, and work in small groups. “My experience over the years is that some of the most meaningful interactions occur unplanned in non-formal settings,” Leone said. “Students and residents need a place where they can simply sit together and enhance each other’s learning.” The project’s signature collaborative space – the David & Wendy Lustbader Student & Resident Lounge – is prominently located on the first floor. Open to all students and residents, this space provides a space for students to eat, study, and connect with classmates. “I love being able to use the student lounge to catch up with friends, have lunch, and just relax in between appointments,” Roxas said. Lustbader said that it was important to him that the new building have a space dedicated to students and residents. “Our school never had a space [in the past] for students to be students: to relax, to laugh, to bond as professionals, and to collaborate on care for their patients,” he said. “This can only enhance the educational experience for our students and the overall experience for our patients.”

“This can only enhance the educational experience for our students and the overall experience for our patients.”

CLOSING THOUGHTS Having completed its Addition and Renovation Project, GSDM is entering a new era of education and patient care. With state-of-the-art facilities, cutting-edge technology, and collaborative spaces for members of the GSDM community to connect, learn and grow together, the school is poised to be a global leader in educating future generations of oral health professionals. “When the project was originally conceived back in 2010…the intent was to ‘right-size’ the facility to match industry standards for clinical education,” Leone said. “It was important for GSDM to enhance the quality of its education and patient care mission by renovating and adding to our suboptimal space and at the same time upgrading and modernizing our clinical and preclinical equipment.” Guarente said that the completed project allows GSDM to stay “ahead of the curve” as the school looks into the future. “Truth be told, nobody knows the pending academic challenges or how we will care for patients in the future,” Guarente said. “With our facility changes we have positioned ourselves very well to be able to adapt to new content, new learning styles, and new patient care options.”

A STATE-OF-THE-ART PARTNERSHIP

Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine (GSDM) unveiled in September an updated and expanded patient treatment center, equipped with state-of-the art digital dentistry technology and laboratory resources from Dentsply Sirona. In recognition of Dentsply Sirona’s generous support, the center will be named in the company’s honor, an announcement that was made on September 21 by GSDM Dean ad interim Cataldo Leone at a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by Dentsply Sirona’s Chief Clinical Officer Terri Dolan. “We are so appreciative of Dentsply Sirona’s support of cutting-edge dental education and patient care,” said Dean Leone. “Thanks 11

to this commitment from Dentsply Sirona, we were able to build a Patient Treatment Center with the most advanced digital dentistry technology of any dental school in the world. This allows us to provide our patients – who are often among the most underserved populations in Boston – the best oral healthcare possible, and positions our school as a global leader in dental education.”

digital integration for the school’s students and its patients, and have expanded dramatically what GSDM students are able to do chair-side. The partnership also supported the creation of state-of-the-art laboratories that include digital radiography with two-dimensional and three-dimensional imaging, and robust five-axis milling units, and will support a team of certified laboratory technicians who will provide assistance to faculty and students.

Dentsply Sirona’s commitment allowed GSDM to outfit 100 patient treatment spaces in its predoctoral “GSDM’s goals align with those of Patient Treatment Center with Dentsply Sirona. This cooperation Dentsply Sirona’s Teneo dental chairs, shows both sides are committed to making GSDM the first dental school empowering current and future dental in the U.S. to install and use these professionals through education, and technologically advanced chairs. research,” said Eric Bruno, senior The Teneo chairs provide seamless

vice president of Dentsply Sirona. “As a corporation, we believe it is our social responsibility to focus on initiatives and collaborations that aim to improve oral healthcare,” Bruno said. “This often starts in the classroom, which is why we are dedicated to supporting high-quality dental education, like that offered at GSDM.” In the new Dentsply Sirona Patient Treatment Center, students are using the integrated digital dentistry technology in the Teneo dental chairs to create an efficient workflow for a wide range of procedures, including: milled inlay and onlay fillings, milled crowns and bridges; surgically guided dental implants; ultrasonic cleanings; root canals with the use of

3D imaging; 3D printing of dentures and surgical guides; and chair-side, single-visit crowns using Omnicams, an advanced intraoral scanner. GSDM and Dentsply Sirona have worked closely together since the advent of CAD/CAM technologies in oral healthcare. This continued collaboration will help each organization further its goals – all while pushing the fields of dental education and oral healthcare to new heights. Construction on the Dentsply Sirona Patient Treatment Center was completed in June 2021. The work was part of a larger addition and renovation construction project at GSDM that increased

the school’s total predoctoral clinical space by 60 percent. GSDM has long been a leader in digital dentistry. In 2014, under the leadership of Dean emeritus Jeffrey Hutter, it became the first dental school in the country to implement a “fully digital” vision for providing oral healthcare to its patients and for educating its students. That leading-edge innovation was made possible thanks to the collaboration with Dentsply Sirona, and GSDM has continued to build on that foundation of innovation in the subsequent years, through efforts such as the development of the Dentsply Sirona Patient Treatment Center.

On a sunny day in September, GSDM celebrated the completion of the Addition and Renovation Project with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on the steps of the 635 Albany Street entrance. As Terri Dolan, Dentsply Sirona VP and chief clinical officer, Dean’s Advisory Board chair David Lustbader CAS 86 DMD 86, Cataldo Leone, dean ad interim, Robert A. Brown, BU president, Karen Antman, BU Medical Campus provost and School of Medicine dean, and student speaker Justin Middleton DMD 21 MED 24 OMFS 27 cut the red ribbon, the approximately 100 guests attending the September 21 ceremony applauded and cheered.

“Here at GSDM, we believe we must be ahead of the industry as a whole in order to ensure that we are educating students who will be leading practitioners in the digital dentistry era,” Leone said. “It is not enough to educate our students on the techniques and technologies that are widely used in the industry today – we must educate them on the techniques and technologies of the future.” The event, which was attended by University leadership, invited dignitaries, and corporate sponsors—as well as members of the GSDM community—marked the completion of the three-year project. Brown, Leone, Middleton, and Dolan provided remarks; Leone also announced the naming of the Dentsply Sirona Patient Treatment Center during the ceremony. “We are here today at the beginning of the new chapter,” Middleton said. “With…this magnificent building, filled with brilliant minds and an unfathomable amount of technology.” SmithGroup provided integrated design services, Shawmut Design and Construction served as the general contractor and Compass Project Management, Inc. as the owner’s project manager. Other key design team members includes Nitsch Engineering. After the ceremony, guests were invited inside for refreshments and guided tours of the new spaces. President Brown used a physics metaphor to explain the impact that the redesigned facility would have for members of the GSDM community.

“In common usage, a quantum leap is a big change,” Boston University President Robert A. Brown said. “This new building is a quantum leap in the quality of the facilities for our great faculty and students.”

On June 10, 2021, GSDM buried a time capsule to be opened on October 17, 2063, the 100th anniversary of the school’s founding. Faculty, staff, students, residents, and alumni contributed items to the time capsule, all of which, taken together, paint a picture of what the school has looked like in the past and present. “It’s fun for us to imagine what the school will look like in 40 years—and I’m sure it will be hard for members

of the future GSDM community to imagine what it was like here in 2021,” Dean ad interim Cataldo Leone said. We chatted with two of our alumni—Celeste Kong PROS 84 DMD 87, professor and chair, GSDM Department of General Dentistry and Roderick Lewin OMFS 60—about the objects they donated to the capsule and what they believe the school will look like in the future.

What was GSDM like when you were a student here? Dean Frankl knew everyone’s name. We were a much smaller school in the early 80s, and my faculty members in the Prosthodontics Department often held class celebrations in their homes. They opened their homes and their families to us. It was close-knit. What object are you putting in the Time Capsule, and why did you select that object? I still had my first faculty lab coat with the letters BUSGD, Boston University School of Graduate Dentistry. [When I was a resident,] we were still recognized as a school that had its beginnings in postdoctorate programs. What do you think GSDM will look like in 50 years when the Time Capsule is opened? The South End has changed a lot since I was a student, and it is changing even faster now. GSDM will no longer be on the fringe of the city but in the center of Boston. Our patient pool will reflect that change as well. The excellent patient care that we provide will available to a more diverse community. What do you think the profession of dentistry will look like in 50 years when the Time Capsule is opened?

“The excellent patient care that we provide will available to a more diverse community. ”

I believe that we already lead with the digital dentistry technology that we own at GSDM. Fifty years from now, patients will have their crowns printed on the same day. Every dental practice will own technology that allows them to email an impression or intraoral scan, and it will be up to the provider to decide whether they want to maintain the equipment that prints the crowns or have the lab do same-day delivery. We will have eliminated caries and periodontal disease. We will deal more with tooth loss due to trauma. Orthodontics will still be in high demand and aesthetic procedures will predominate.

What was the school like when you were here? I was in the first class to graduate from the Department of Stomatology, which, at the time, was part of the BU School of Medicine. There were approximately 11 of us in the class, all of whom had finished the required hospital training. At the time, if you wanted to get your boards in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, a year of postgraduate medical study was one of the requirements. The department was formed under the tutelage of the renowned Dr. Henry Goldman and Dr. Kurt Thoma. What object are you putting in the Time Capsule, and why did you select that object? My certificate [the object that I donated to the time capsule] was one of the first ones, and I believe has historical significance. This is a unique piece of the beginnings before the dental school was established. What do you think GSDM will look like in 50 years when the Time Capsule is opened? I have no idea. In 50 years? I can’t even think about it. Because what I’ve seen in changes along the way…GSDM has blossomed along with the other dental schools in Boston. So, I have seen multiple changes in my specialty and the expansion of the educational requirements that go with it are phenomenal. I don’t know where graduate training will be in the future, but it’s not going to be at a standstill, I know that. The leadership at the dental schools, will need to provide and protect the profession going forward.

“I have seen multiple changes in my specialty and the expansion of the educational requirements that go with it are phenomenal.”

What do you think the profession of dentistry will look like in 50 years when the Time Capsule is opened? I know it’ll become more complex. I know that the student body will probably be as selective as it is now, if not more selective.

ALUMNI

A Message From THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT Dear Fellow Alumni, Tempus fugit. That Latin phrase certainly rings true right now. But despite the seemingly accelerated pace of time, here at BU progress remains undeterred! Against so many unusual odds during these last years, the school renovation is complete, our students are back to treating patients and we’re poised to usher in a new alumni association president! Even the swift passage of time won’t dim some of our most potent memories. I’m sure each of us remembers that first time we walked into the Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine building–whether it was the brownstone on East Concord Street (the original location for GSDM) or the three- and then seven-story facility built in the 1970s at its current location. But while the specifics of these memories are unique to our own experiences, the building itself remained fundamentally unchanged for almost 50 years – until now. In July, we completed a three-year, transformative, $115 million Addition & Renovation Construction Project. The building’s new look now truly reflects the school’s innovative and cutting-edge reputation. And let me tell you about the interior! The project increased the space by nearly 50,000 square feet and includes state-of-the-art equipment, enhanced instructional space, student collaboration areas and so much more! It truly has to be seen to be believed – and my hope is that you’ll plan to stop by the school to see it with your own eyes. And let’s be clear: None of this would have been possible without your support. Since the moment (over 10 years ago!) the project was first conceived, GSDM alumni have been at the table ensuring the final product would be just as incredible as it’s turned out to be. That level of alumni commitment is one of the most inspiring experiences I’ve had in my time serving here at the Alumni Board. Our GSDM community is truly extraordinary. In this issue of Impressions, through the power of great photography, I invite you to explore the project in more detail. You’ll see how the construction transforms both the educational and patient care experience at GSDM. But, again, nothing can replace seeing this epic change in person – so be sure to make time to come home and visit. We’ll be so happy to see you! And finally, on a personal note, I want to say what an honor it’s been to serve as your alumni association president over the last two years. It’s been nothing short of memorable and gratifying—and I have absolutely enjoyed every minute of it. I also know that I leave the Alumni Association in incredibly good hands, as I pass the gavel off to Maryam Shomali CAS 87 ENDO 93 this fall. And to be honest, I’m not really going away – I plan to be just as involved in the school community as ever, just in a different role. Sincerely, Gigi Meinecke DMD 88 Alumni Association President 17

CONNECTING GSDM ALUMNI IN ITALY

BUIA BUIA BUIA BUIA

The Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine (GSDM) is known for its international community: Our students and residents come from all corners of the globe to attend school. But what happens when they graduate and leave Boston to return to their home countries?

In Italy, alumni decided to create their own extension of the GSDM community by forming Boston University Italian Alumni (BUIA), an alumni association serving GSDM graduates who live in Italy. The association was founded in 1999 and now has approximately 40 members. “We are friends first, and then we are colleagues,” Fabio Scutella PROS 01, who currently serves as president of the association, said. “We see and meet each other out of the BUIA during congresses, in Italy, during meetings. So we are really close… and this is why we look forward to meeting once a year [at the association’s annual meeting].” With alumni spread out across the country, from Milan to Sicily, the organization does not have the opportunity to meet in person 19

very often. However, BUIA hosts a two-day meeting each year, where members can share clinical cases, hear from lecturers, and catch up with old friends and classmates. In 2019, BUIA celebrated their 20th anniversary by inviting other GSDM alumni who live outside of the United States, creating an international gathering. “We had people from Lebanon, the Philippines, Tunisia and Greece, France coming over,” Scutella’ said. “It was a wonderful get together. It was a great opportunity to see each other after so many years—it was like time didn’t pass at all.” Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 BUIA meeting was canceled, and Scutella’ said that their 2021 event was much smaller in size. The group is already planning their 2022 meeting,

which will be dedicated to long-time BUIA president Paolo Vigolo PROS 91, who passed away in 2019. “I am so happy to see an alumni group like the BUIA continuing to meet, year after year,” Stacey McNamee, director of Alumni Relations & Annual Giving said. “Even though BUIA is far from Boston, they’ve managed to keep the spirit of the BU family alive.” Many members of BUIA have gone on to serve in leadership positions for other Italian scientific societies, including the late Paolo Vigolo PROS 91, (president of Aiop (Italian Academy of Prosthetics), Luca Landi PERIO 97 (president of SIdP, Italian Society of Periodontology), Silvia Allegrini ORTHO 91 (president of Sido, Italian Society of Orthodontics), and Alfonso Caiazzo (president of Iao, Italian Academy of Osseointegration)

“GSDM has definitely played an important role in the professional careers of many of us in several ways,” Scutella’ said. “The background we’ve been provided with, the curriculum we learned, and the self-confidence we learned to show in public meetings...those were no doubt inherited from our time at GSDM.” For Scutella’, who spent five years in Boston, BUIA offers an opportunity to stay in touch with his fellow classmates, some of whom he considers family. “I had three roommates during my time in Boston who became like brothers to me,” Scutella’ said. “We’re still in touch, we talk quite often. And the same is to be said of other BU students in BUIA. We are very close friends between us, and that’s why we really like and look forward to meeting.” 20

SCHOOL

On Campus: Highlights

Commencement Sunday, May 16, 2021

While the Class of 2021’s final year at the Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine was a challenging one, the clear theme throughout numerous Commencement Week events was that nothing could take away from what the students and residents of this class achieved. “It is also necessary for me to urge you not to let one year define all the years. I ask that you focus on what you have learned, on how much you have grown, and on the good friends and colleagues you have made during your time here,” said Dean ad interim Catalado Leone during his opening remarks for the school’s virtual convocation. Like their time at dental school, the celebrations for the Class of 2021 were unique: Commencement week events were a mixture of Zoom meetings, virtual celebrations and an in-person event.

Meet the Keynote Speaker The keynote speaker for this year’s ceremony was Dr. Cherae FarmerDixon DPH 14, who currently serves as the dean of the Meharry Medical College School of Dentistry in Nashville, Tennessee. Farmer-Dixon shared five life lessons to aid students as they entered their professional career, urging them to be open to continued learning, to acknowledge those who helped them along the way, reflect on the positives and negatives of dental school, to handle challenges as they arise as each challenge defines who they become as a person, and to know their “PCR” — purpose, commitment and result. “Today’s demonstration of your successes, and a job well done, are not the end of a chapter, but a continuation of a journey of lifelearning,” Farmer-Dixon said.

Read how Dr. Farmer-Dixon is making the dental community a more inclusive place in the Spring 2020 issue of Impressions.

On Sunday, May 16, members of the GSDM community and their loved ones logged online to watch the school’s convocation, a prerecorded ceremony that was livestreamed on the BU website. Luljeta Isedisha, valedictorian of the DMD Advanced Standing Class of 2021, said that while the ceremony looked different, it was in no way less exciting than in previous years. “While the celebrations may be smaller, the enthusiasm is greater,” Isedisha said. “Our achievements are in no way diminished, but are rather amplified by the resilience we have shown over the last year.” On Sunday, May 16, graduating students also had the opportunity to participate in the All-University Commencement, which took place on Nickerson Field. A number of GSDM students and residents took advantage of the opportunity to join the in-person event – with many of them then crossing the city after the ceremony to take photos in their regalia in front of the dental school in their regalia. In addition to the University-wide commencement and school convocation, GSDM held their own informal event, “A Toast to the Class of 2021,” on Friday, May 14. Students, residents, and faculty logged onto Zoom, while family and friends headed to YouTube for a livestream, as members of the GSDM community celebrated the graduating class. Viewers heard from Dean Leone, Gigi Meinecke DMD 88, president of the GSDM Alumni Association, and other GSDM senior faculty members.

White Coat Ceremony Members of the Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) Class of 2023 and the Doctor of Dental Medicine Advanced Standing (DMD AS) Class of 2022 participated in the school’s first ever hybrid White Coat Ceremony in July 2021.

Friends and family from around the globe watched via a livestream feed displayed on the GSDM website while students and a limited number of faculty attended an in-person ceremony in the George Sherman Union on the Charles River Campus. “It is truly a pleasure to again welcome our students who are here with us in person, and their relatives and friends who are joining us remotely,” said Dean ad interim Cataldo Leone in his opening remarks. “The specialness of today’s ceremony transcends whatever the format may be. Thank you to all for sharing in this event today.” At GSDM, the White Coat ceremony marks the halfway point during the student’s career in dental school and serves as an induction to the predoctoral patient treatment center. “You have learned foundational knowledge in the biomedical sciences, the behavioral sciences, and the clinical sciences,” Dean Leone said. “You now will continue in the clinical sciences, learning advanced concepts and applying all that you have learned for the betterment of fellow human beings; that is, our patients.” Dr. Cesar R. Sabates, President-elect of the American Dental Association, spoke of the camaraderie in the dentistry field during keynote remarks, which were delivered as a pre-recorded video. “As dentists, we are all one—when one of us succeeds, we all succeed,” Sabates said. “When I say that dentistry is a special family, I think about all the ways we can carry each along the journey—with a kind word, a listening ear, a helpful hand and, especially, a thank you to those who made a difference.”

Matriculation & Professional Ceremony

After almost 18 months of virtual and hybrid events for Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine (GSDM), the DMD AS Class of 2023 and the DMD Class of 2025 gathered under a white tent on Talbot Green for the 2021 Professional Ceremony—a perfect ending for their week-long, in-person matriculation, and the largest in-person event the school had held since January 2020. Over the five days of matriculation, students kicked off their dental school careers by attending introductory lectures, getting fitted for loupes, scrubs, and white coats, and picking up instrument kits. This year’s matriculation also included new programs and events, including the First Year Student Experience (FYSE), a semesterlong pilot program focused on co-curricular programming, events, and collaborations to support students as they transition into dental school. In addition to one large student reception, hosted on the Charles River Campus by Dean ad interim Cataldo Leone, there were two smaller receptions held in the student lounge for LGBTQ+ and for BIPOC students. On the final day of matriculation, students took part in the professional ceremony, which marks a student’s entry into the field of dentistry and signifies their commitment to promoting the integrity of the profession and to serving the needs of those who require oral healthcare. In his keynote address, Andrew Miller DMD 12 AEGD 13 ENDO 15, clinical associate professor of General Dentistry and director of Predoctoral Endodontics, reminded students that each of their paths to dental school is unique—and that they were all selected for a reason. “You were chosen because you are qualified and you are deserving to be here,” Miller said. “No matter whatever happens over the next two to four years, never forget that.”

As a young adult, Narendra Nagalla GDM 22 was drawn to dentistry because of the connections that oral healthcare professionals could make with their patients. “There’s a lot of people interaction in dentistry,” Nagalla said. “You build lifelong connections with patients, and that is something that appealed to me.” The combination of challenges and rewards—for example, adapting to rapidly changing science, lifestyle and financial stability—were also contributing factors. Nagalla also found that he particularly enjoyed the connections he was able to make when working with geriatric patients. “There’s a sense of gratification when you deliver care to geriatric populations,” Nagalla said. “The fact that you’re interacting with an individual who has seen life—they have been exposed to lots of things in their lives, some of them have seen historic events and the world... the connection that you form when you have a conversation is very, very interesting.” Nagella is the first recipient of the Stephen R. Gordon Graduate Scholarship in Geriatric Dental Medicine, which honors faculty member and alumnus Stephen Gordon, who was killed in an avalanche while skiing near Telluride in 1992. Gordon was known for being kind, patient, and a great communicator; the scholarship is intended to attract talented students with a background in prosthodontics to geriatric dental medicine, as Gordon had a unique understanding of the restorative dental needs of older adults. “Nagalla was an outstanding candidate given his credentials from dental school, his experience in private practice, and his interest and passion for geriatrics,” said Joseph Calabrese DMD 91 AEGD 92, associate dean of students, clinical professor, and director of Geriatric Dental Medicine. Nagalla said that being recognized with the scholarship means a lot to him, especially after learning more about Dr. Gordon. “I feel that if I am able to achieve one percent of what he has achieved in life or to be able to bring about change in the profession in some way, just like what

he has done, I feel that I’ve done justice [to] being a Gordon scholar,” Nagalla said. “I will strive and do my best to bring about change to improve the quality of care to geriatric populations.” According to Nagalla, geriatric dentistry is a multidisciplinary specialty that involves a lot of moving pieces at any given time. “You’re not just delivering care,” he said. “You’re delivering care by taking into account the psychosocial aspects, the functional aspects—you’re coordinating your care plan with interdisciplinary teams, which could be physicians, geriatricians, social workers, speech pathologist, psychologists…a lot of specialties.” This makes Nagalla, however, a wellrounded practitioner. He received a degree in dentistry from Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences in Bangalore, after which he spent time in clinical care in India. In 2006, he moved to Indiana, where he completed a master’s degree in Applied Gerontology at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. Nagalla focused on quality-of-life tools (QOL) tools that help nursing home residents access care and study aging from a psychosocial perspective. He then enrolled in a clinical investigation and data analytics workshop and seminar series at the school of Graduate Medical Sciences (GMS) at the Boston University School of Medicine, where he was exposed to research design and development. He has worked with contract research companies and has experience in clinical trials and data management. “I’ve straddled different roles up to this point in clinical practice, administration and research,” Nagalla said. Nagalla, who hopes to advance further in his education after earning a degree a GSDM, said that he chose GSDM for its prestige. “Boston University undoubtedly is a premier institution for education – particularly medicine, and oral health,” he said.

PHILANTHROPY

AN ‘ABSOLUTE COMMITMENT’ TO GIVING STUDENTS THE BEST WRITTEN BY LOUISE KENNEDY

How does someone who never attended the Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine become one of its most generous supporters and most steadfast advocates?

Tarun Agarwal DMD didn’t study at GSDM. But when he studied the school’s track record, he liked what he saw—and joined the Dean’s Advisory Board.

For Tarun Agarwal DMD, the answer is pretty simple: he believes in the school’s mission. “As a quote-unquote outsider, what I see that I haven’t seen in many schools — any schools, really — is an absolute commitment to providing the best environment and resources for dental students,” said Agarwal, “from being on the forefront of becoming digital, to building a worldclass facility, to developing relationships and bringing in outside partners to help provide some additional expertise.” Those relationships are essential, he said. “For dentistry to be successful, we have to partner with outside companies.” It was through a corporate connection, in fact, that Agarwal first became familiar with the school. Through his practice, which is “as close to completely digital as you can get,” he worked frequently with Dentsply Sirona, he said, and through that work he got to know Uday Reebye MD DMD 98, who serves on the GSDM Dean’s Advisory Board. Given Agarwal’s background and his interest in the school’s digital initiatives, Reebye soon suggested that his friend join the board, too. Agarwal happily agreed. “It’s my first foray into seeing how dental schools work—the process of making them work,” he said. “It’s been great.” The school’s emphasis on digital dentistry under Dean Emeritus Jeffrey Hutter impressed him, Agarwal said. “That really brought the school into the modern era—it’s one of the most modern schools in the country, if not the entire world.” And he assumes that a commitment to state-of-the-art training will continue, even as a new dean brings a fresh perspective to the school. “We have to give our students a full education, let them see what’s possible,” said Agarwal. “It’s so important—it’s more important now than ever before.” As for the details of what that full education will look like, he keeps an open mind. “My personal belief is whatever helps build the school’s reputation, helps bring us resources, helps bring us students—I’m all for that.” One thing he really appreciates about the practitioners who receive the kind of forward-thinking education that GSDM provides is their positive outlook on the profession. “It’s not just that they’re more successful,” Agarwal said. “They seem to enjoy their careers more; they seem to have longer careers and be surrounded by people who love their careers and enjoy doing good for people.” It’s hard to think of a better reason for supporting a school of dental medicine than that.

Let's engage. As Boston University’s new vice president for alumni engagement, I look forward to connecting with the vibrant alumni community of the Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine. BU is a big place—now with two campuses beyond your own Medical one, the Charles River and Fenway locations—but we are all #TerriersTogether. I’d like to talk a bit about the significance I find in those words alumni and engagement. As you may know, alumni ultimately derives from the Latin verb alere, which means “to bring up” or “to nourish.” At first that meaning was literal, for children being brought up outside their original homes. Eventually, however, the meaning extended to include people who receive intellectual nourishment at school: students, and then graduates, too. The nourishment is symbiotic. Your education at GSDM nourished your learning and developed your skills, and your connection to the school nurtured its community in turn— and indeed the Boston University community as a whole. Which brings us to engagement: the ongoing connection between you and BU. Once you’re an alum, you’re an alum for life. And BU, like GSDM, is your academic home for life. This, too, is a symbiotic relationship: we are here for you, whether you’re looking for connections with friends old and new, seeking fresh opportunities in your career, or simply staying up to date on the latest happenings on campus. We hope and trust that you are here for us, too: spreading the word about your experience with the school, sharing your thoughts about what we’re getting right—or wrong!—and generally continuing to stay, well, engaged. I also invite you to explore GSDM's APEX program, which places students in private practices or public clinics for an eight-week internship at the end of their first year. It’s a valuable learning experience for these aspiring practitioners—and a chance to share your perspective and expertise with the next generation. I’ll leave you with a simple question: What engages you? What gets you excited when you think about BU? And how can I help you deepen that relationship? I look forward to connecting with you—in person when we can, and online anytime. You’ll find me on BU Connects, our platform that brings Terriers together for personal and professional networking on a global scale. You can learn more about that at bu.edu/buconnects. I hope you’ll join, and I’ll see you there. With Terrier pride, Erika N. Jordan Vice President, Alumni Engagement 51
