Lauren Liebman DMD 18 Receives Pierre Fauchard Award

On May 15, 2017, Dean Jeffrey W. Hutter presented Lauren Liebman DMD 18 with the Pierre Fauchard Academy’s 2017 Foundation Dental Student Scholarship Award for her leadership and service to Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine (GSDM). Also present for the ceremony were; Associate Dean for Academic Affairs Dr. Cataldo Leone; Assistant Dean of Students Dr. Joseph Calabrese; and Lauren’s parents, Peter and Padmini Liebman.

Every year, the Pierre Fauchard Academy awards the scholarship to a dental student in each dental school who has demonstrated the greatest potential for development into an outstanding leader in the dental profession.

Prior to coming to GSDM, Liebman graduated from Hamilton College with a degree in Neuroscience. This year, she was selected for the Fauchard Award for her record of leadership throughout her time at GSDM. In addition to regularly volunteering for community events, Liebman is an active member of the American Student Dental Association (ASDA). She has served on student government, where she currently serves as Secretary for the Class of 2018. Liebman is also a Teaching Assistant in one of the Preventative Dentistry courses. Liebman completed her 10-week externship at Uphams Corner Health Center in Boston, and hopes to travel abroad as part of GSDM’s International Elective Externship Program in the Spring.

After graduation, Liebman hopes to attend a General Practice Residency (GPR) program in New York City, and eventually begin her career as a General Dentist.

In presenting the award, Dean Hutter recognized Lauren for all she has already accomplished as a student at GSDM and praised her for receiving this very prestigious honor from the Pierre Fauchard Academy Foundation.
