ELAM News to Know 

 

 A Report from ADEA

 

We were back in San Antonio once again for the annual American Dental Education Association ELUM and Fellow "Tea" on Monday, March 16. Over 20 ELUMs, Fellows, and guests attended, including ELAM staff Olivia Lee and Rosalyn Richman. Olivia had to say about the event,

 

It was wonderful to see everyone. Each time I return from attending an ELAM alumnae event, I am reminded how awesome the community is. With this past visit to the ADEA meeting I now see how close the dental ELUM community is. Our conversations shared were enlightening and informative. You support each other, encourage each other and lift each other up in hard times. Best of all, you celebrate one another. You really are stronger together.

 

Thank you to all that attended!

Fourteen applicants applied previously to ELAM. Twenty-nine applicants identified their race as non-Caucasian or "other" and six identified themselves as being of Hispanic origin.

 

The pool includes:

One of the greatest weaknesses in most of us is our lack of faith in ourselves. One of our common failings is to depreciate our tremendous worth.
