Earlier this week the school held a reception for its matching students, at which Dean Sharon Gordon told them, \u201cThe UConn School of Dental Medicine\u00a0has a tradition of a high percentage\u00a0of students matching to residency programs, reflecting the strong reputation of the school across the nation. That reputation is built by the caliber of you,\u00a0our students, an outstanding faculty, and a robust curriculum.\u201d<\/p>\n
It was Gordon’s first match since joining UConn.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy congratulations to you as you make plans to embark on the next steps in your professional education,\u201d she told the students. \u201cAs you do so, also cherish the remainder of the time together with your colleagues and dedicated faculty in this special environment.\u201d<\/p>\n
