Congratulations, Brian

Brian Schmid DMD 08 was selected as the 2008 recipient of the Matthew Boylan Scholarship. This scholarship was established by the Massachusetts Dental Society and Bank of America in memory of former MDS Executive Director, Matthew Boylan.

The scholarship is awarded during Yankee Dental Congress to a Massachusetts resident and dental student who has provided distinguished service to organized dentistry and the community. Schmid has volunteered at Yankee Dental Congress for the past five years and has participated in several community service projects through Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine (BUGSDM), including Give Kids a Smile, Special Olympics Special Smiles®, and the school-based sealant programs.

"I nominated Brian because he has made significant contributions to BUGSDM, in and out of the classroom," said Dean ad interim Hutter. "He is an outstanding member of our community and was fully deserving of this award."

After graduation Schmid plans to enter the Advanced Specialty Education in Pediatric Dentistry postdoctoral dental residency training program at Lutheran Medical Center in Providence, Rhode Island.
