GSDM celebrates Alumni Weekend on Talbot Green

After months of Zoom meetings and virtual events, members of the Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine (GSDM) community had the opportunity to greet each other face to face during this year’s Alumni Weekend celebration.   

Approximately 65 people attended this year’s reception, which took place Saturday, October 2 in a new location, under a tent on Talbot Green on the Boston University Medical Campus. In addition to catching up with their classmates and sampling seasonally inspired refreshments, attendees had the opportunity to tour the dental school and explore the new spaces completed during the GSDM Addition and Renovation Project.  

“Everybody was so excited to see the school,” Stacey McNamee, director of Alumni Relations & Annual Giving, said. “It’s something that we, as members of the GSDM community, should be really proud of.  

Karun Gaba DMD 10, who traveled from Arizona for the event, visited the school for the first time since graduating and was impressed by the new spaces.  

“It was a great feeling, walking through the building and appreciating the changes made,” Gaba said. “I think the school is going in the right direction.”  

The event also included a special celebration for the Class of 2020. Each of the graduates who attended Alumni Weekend had their name called out by Dean Leone during the events and received a BU blanket as a gift. Videos inside of the school played a video featuring submitted photos from the Class of 2020’s time at GSDM and a list of the graduates. Graduates posed for photos in their regalia with their fellow classmates and former faculty members.
