Faculty
and Student Achievers
The
LSUSD Academy of General
Dentistry Student
Chapter is the
recipient of the 2019 AGD
Student Chapter of the
Year Award. This award
honors the AGD student
chapter that provides its
membership with the best
overall set of programs
and activities. Kay
Jordan, DDS, MAGD,
clinical assistant
professor of operative
dentistry, founded the
chapter in 2013 and has
been its faculty sponsor
since then. In 2014 the
LSUSD organization became
the first student chapter
recognized by the AGD.
The award was accepted by
Joe Lee,
2018-2019 president, and Adrienne
Ware, 2018
graduate and past
president. The chapter has
been awarded $1,000 toward
membership programming and
recognition on the AGD
website. The two lead
chapter officers also
received funding to attend
the 2019 AGD Scientific
Session in July in
Uncasville, Connecticut.
In addition to
networking, leadership,
and educational
opportunities, the AGD
Student Chapter program
provides students with a
way to earn credentials
toward AGD Fellowship
while they are still in
dental school.
Officers for the current
academic year are Chandler
DeJean,
president; Rachel
Robinson,
vice-president; and Kayla
Dymen,
secretary. In October the
chapter will fill the
position of D1
representative and create
new committees to address
social media and assembly.
