For months, I looked forward to assuming the position of dean at Texas A&M Health Science Center Baylor College of Dentistry. Shortly after starting my tenure at the college, I can say I am truly honored to be a part of this special community of faculty, students, staff, alumni, donors, parents and friends. Your hard work and commitment to excellence have defined TAMHSC-BCD as a premier institution of dental education.
