Over 150 students and facultyparticipated, with the Class of 2015 takingthe winning trophy. Thank you to Tony BaeDMD 2013 and the sports reps from all years:Victoria Rogoschewsky DMD 2016, MatthewChin DMD 2016, Carmen Hansford DMD2015, Bradley Asay DMD 2015, Dilraj BalDMD 2014, Graham Macdonald DMD 2014,Caitlin Meredith DMD 2013, Bryan WongDMD 2013 and Chris Lee BDSc 2015.Zach ZeilerDMD 2015Never having attended the Alumni & FriendsGolf Tournament, I was unsure of what toexpect. I was even unsure of how the Faculty—let alone the Dentistry dean himself—wouldrespond to our bald-capped, fake-bearded“Team Shuler” costumes (see photo). At 10a.m., however, when the “Teenage Mutant NinjaTurtles” (winner of the costume contest) andthe “Flapper Girls” arrived in full force, I knewour attire would be more or less par for thecourse. From on-course activities—Scotiabankrubber ducky chipping contest, Advil massagetent, Aurum Ceramic longest drive contest,Paul McCartney tickets giveaway from NadeanBurkett & Associates, and the Sinclairmarshmallow drive—to playing the game ofgolf, the tournament was a blast to help planand take part in. Congratulations to BrianStanderwick DMD 1988, Brian Sully-DanielsDMD 1989, Rob Staschuk DMD 1989 andCraig Dewar, Nobel Biocare, who walked awaywith the Monarch trophy. Thank you to all thevolunteers, alumni partners and prize donors.Jay ChanSteven HuangDMD 2014Volunteer Community Clinic Program ForumStudents hosted a forum about the VolunteerCommunity Clinic Program on September15, 2012. Over 30 DMD and BDSc studentleaders, community dentists and facultymembers involved with the program were inattendance. The forum was a huge successand was instrumental to the planning of thisyear’s volunteer clinic program, which willbe running 16 clinics during the 2012-2013academic year. The students have been activein securing dental supplies needed for theupcoming volunteer clinics, and the programrecently received a large donation of dentalsupplies from Patterson Dental.

The receptionreminded me of the fun events we had whileattending UBC—a fancier BZZR garden, ifyou will.
