MUSC Alumni Weekend

MUSC's Homecoming Weekend will be held Friday, February 27 through Sunday, March 1, 2015. You can visit www.musc.edu/alumni/events for all the details and get registered.

 

SCDA Annual Convention- Registration is Open!!

It is time again to make plans to attend the upcoming SCDA annual convention. Visit www.scdaannualsession.com for all of the details and events for the meeting and remember, the Convention will be held in Charleston this year at the Marriott.

 

Once again, the SCDA Foundation will be holding its Silent Auction during the Convention. This continues to be a highlight event and the Chair of the Foundation, Dr. Mona Ellis, urges everyone who may have relationships with hotels, beach houses, art galleries, colleges and universities, to please work with those relationships and obtain items for the auction. You may contact her or Phil Latham at the SCDA with questions.

   
Donated Dental Services Program

The Donated Dental Services Program (DDS) continues to grow here in South Carolina. However, we still have pockets in the State where additional volunteers are needed.

 

The DDS program is a collaborative, direct way that the dental profession reaches out to individuals with special needs. These individuals are our most vulnerable residents: disabled, elderly and medically compromised people who can neither afford treatment nor obtain public aid.

 

If you have not signed up to participate in this program, please do so today. Contact Dawn at 803-726-4522 today for information on how to get involved.

 
Macaulay Museum of Dental History

The Macaulay Museum of Dental History Campaign Committee is seeking to create a list in tribute to the real "Macaulay Boys."  Part of Dr. Neill Webster Macaulay's legacy, the Macaulay Boys were assisted by Dr. Macaulay in attending dental schools in the region prior to the establishment of the College of Dental Medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina.  If you are a Macaulay Boy or know someone who is (alive or deceased), please contact Toni Jernigan at jernigat@musc.edu or 843-792-2236.   

 

In addition, the Macaulay Legacy Campaign kicked off on Friday, October 24th at Dr. Staci Gaffos' private museum in Columbia, SC.  The campaign has achieved over 18% of its $400,000 goal.  For more information on the Macaulay Legacy Campaign, please contact Toni Jernigan at jernigat@musc.edu or 843-792-2236.   

 
Sincerely,

Executive Director, SCDA
