Department of Periodontology & Oral Biology Hosts Postgraduate Celebration

Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine (BUGSDM) Department of Periodontology and Oral Biology held their 2008 Postgraduate Celebration for faculty, staff, and residents at the Hotel Commonwealth on May 30.

Professor and Chair Frank Oppenheim and Professor and Director of the Periodontal Research Laboratories Thomas Van Dyke co-hosted the event. Four awards and one scholarship were presented at the reception, including the award for Excellence in Periodontology to Rima Abdallah PERIO 09, the Stallard Award to Homan Hanasab PERIO 08, the American Academy of Periodontology Teaching Award to Assistant Clinical Professor Oreste Zanni, the Faculty Teaching Award to Clinical Associate Professor Albert Price, and the Morris Ruben Scholarship to Melanie Campese PERIO 09.

"This event was a wonderful opportunity for our department to gather together and celebrate the past year’s achievements," said Dr. Van Dyke. "The residents have worked tirelessly and it was an honor to be able to recognize all they have accomplished as many of them prepare to leave BUGSDM."
