We are also recruiting for new Dental Alumni Association members so if you’re interested in being involved, please respond! You can also find out how much the students raised through their annual Charity Ball initiative (student volunteers pictured above). And if online isn't your 'thing,' please send us an email at dentweb@ualberta.ca to receive a hard copy of Alumni Connections. Join the Dental Alumni AssociationHelp dentistry alumni write the next chapter! With your ideas and input, you can make a difference within the dentistry alumni community. We are currently recruiting for members to join the Dental Alumni Association (DAA). Email your interest to chapters@ualberta.net. The DAA is a group of volunteers who work to help our alumni stay connected with the School and with one another. Our goal as an association is to help improve the student experience. We meet with the students at various times throughout the year to connect with them about their experiences and to help them transition from being in school to private practice. Among other events, we host the students’ convocation luncheon where we present the DAA awards and scholarships. CDE SurveyAs part of our ongoing efforts to improve and enhance course and program offerings in Continuing Dental Education (CDE), we are seeking your input and feedback. The survey should take no more than 10 minutes to complete and you can enter your name into a draw to win a $250 CE Credit towards a future CDE course. The results will be used to inform future planning and refine existing services within CDE.
