Message from the Dean Dear Alumni and Friends of the UCSF School of Dentistry: 2009 was a year of challenge and transformation at the school, from which we’ve emerged strong – retaining our leadership and dedication to excellence in the teaching of clinical dentistry, research and patient care. With ideas and input from across the school community, we made tough decisions and worked together to significantly increase clinical and operational efficiency, and with outstanding support from generous donors we’ve moved forward on key projects, including the implementation of digital radiography, the ongoing renovation of patient reception areas, and the floor-up modernization and rededication of the Fleming Pre-Clinical Simulation Laboratory, named for Dentistry Dean and UCSF Chancellor Willard C. Fleming, DDS ’23. At the gala dedication in November, we were honored by the presence of UCSF’s dynamic new chancellor, Sue Desmond-Hellmann, who has proven to be a great friend of the school and a powerful advocate for our mission. Look for the story of the new Fleming Lab in this magazine, along with an in-depth look at the widely applauded work of CAN DO, recognized in 2008 with a National Institutes of Health grant of more than $1.3 million; profiles of three members of our faculty who are redefining the frontiers of dentistry and oral-craniofacial science; and a profile of our new associate dean for research, among other features. I’d like to invite you to stay in touch by visiting the school and our sites on the Web, including Facebook (facebook.com/ucsfdentistry) and Twitter (twitter.com/ucsfdentistry). As a new decade dawns, much exciting work and discovery await. Please join us! John D.B. Featherstone, MSc, PhD Dean, UCSF School of Dentistry Why We Give Continued from back cover “One who had a profound effect on my professional development was Dr. Perry Ratcliff, chair of the Division of Periodontology at the time,” he added, detailing efforts to establish an endowed chair in his name (see story, page 20). “It should become a goal to have an endowed chair for every faculty position. Those sorts of tributes last.” In the Otago editorial, Armitage distilled his thoughts about giving into three focused objectives: “The culture of giving is now part of our professional fabric as graduates from UCSF.” – Gary C. Armitage, DDS, MS n The majority of graduates should become donors. n Establish endowment funds for specific educational programs in the names of widely respected mentors and teachers. n Recruit and cultivate major donors in order to form the financial base for named distinguished professorships and endowed chairs. “The culture of giving is now part of our professional fabric as graduates from UCSF,” Armitage said. “We give because we firmly believe that it is essential for the future existence of the University of California as a first-rate institution of higher learning. As University graduates, it is our responsibility to support the schools we attended to make sure future generations have the same opportunities we had. “We have been recipients of the many benefits that come with a University education, and it is our obligation to pay back the system so it is still there for our grandchildren. The UCSF School of Dentistry cannot maintain its position as a premier institution without strong alumni support on a continuing basis.” n 1
