Extending
Our Reach
LSUHSC School of
Dentistry (LSUSD) alumni
are an integral part of
our community. Their
input, support, and
experiences assist the
school leadership and
faculty in enhancing
dental education for
existing and future
students. Connecting and
communicating with our
alumni is a high priority
and is accomplished in a
variety of ways. For
instance, the regularly
distributed LSUSD ENews
provides school updates to
our varied constituents.
Also, Dean Henry
Gremillion speaks annually
at Louisiana Dental
Association (LDA) district
meetings to update members
on current activities and
trends in dental
education; alumni
participate on school
academic committees or
serve as part-time and
gratis faculty members;
and receptions are held at
various locations to
strengthen relationships
and encourage dialogue.

In the spring two events
were held to reconnect
with alumni in other
states. Dean Gremillion,
four senior dental
students, and two faculty
members traveled to
Atlanta, Georgia, to
attend the Thomas P.
Hinman Dental Society
Meeting and host a
reception for our alumni
in the area. Troy
Schulman, DDS '94, served
as our alumni host. In
April Dr. Toby Cheramie,
director of admissions,
hosted a reception in
conjunction with the
Arkansas State Dental
Association Annual Session
to reconnect with our
alumni in the state. In
addition, Ms. Kelly
Caldwell of Delta Dental
of Arkansas presented the
second installment of
$150,000 toward the
company's generous pledge
of $600,000 for the
preclinical simulation
laboratories renovation
project.
In the coming months,
Dean Gremillion will be
speaking at multiple LDA
district meetings to share
an overview of school
activities, current
projects, and his
strategic vision for the
immediate future.

On Friday, November 1, a
reception will be held in
conjunction with the
American Dental
Association Annual Session
to engage with alumni
across the nation.
Although the faculty and
staff are at the core of
the educational process,
their vision expands with
the involvement of our
alumni and the dental
community-at-large. This
ultimately strengthens
dental education in
Louisiana. We are grateful
to everyone who
contributes their time and
resources to support our
mission and its impact on
communities around the
globe.
