The ELUM and Fellows tea at ADEA is an excellent opportunity for dental ELUMs to gather and reconnect. You are also welcome to bring one guest - either your dean or a colleague that is interested in ELAM.

Please RSVP to Wenting Luo by March 3 at wenting.luo@drexelmed.edu and be sure to mention if you are bringing a guest and your guest's name.

We look forward to seeing you there!

We'd also like to note another exciting event at ADEA this year: ELUM Lisa Tedesco (ELAM '97) will be receiving the 2014 William J. Gies Award for Outstanding Achievement - Dental Education at an awards ceremony on Monday, March 17, 2014 from 6:00 - 9:00 pm. Visit the event website for more information.
