On May 25, 2013, Dean Jeffrey W. Hutter and (now former) Professor and Chair of the Department of Pediatric Dentistry Dr. Christopher Hughes hosted a special Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine (GSDM) reception at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort in Orlando, Florida, during the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) 66th Annual Session. GSDM alumni, faculty, staff, family, and friends reunited in a celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the School’s founding.

Dean Hutter addressed the guests, thanking Dr. Hughes for his service to the School and Dr. Wendy Cheney for the outstanding job she is doing as the Director of the Advanced Specialty Education program in Pediatric Dentistry.  He also provided updates on Boston University’s historic One Billion Dollar Campaign, plans for a new GSDM facility, progress in implementing the School’s Applied Strategic Plan, and the ongoing 50th Anniversary Celebrations.

Introducing a video commemorating the School’s 50th Anniversary, Dean Hutter said to the guests, “Together, we can build on the momentum of a legacy of innovation and fund our proposed new facility and build a future that is truly great.”
