Homecoming and Reunion Weekend 2024

 The School of Dental Medicine's Homecoming and Reunion weekend, held from November 14-16, brought alumni together for an exciting series of events. With live music, inspiring speakers, and a look at the latest in dental innovation, it was a weekend to remember!

Homecoming and Reunion weekend began early for the School of Dental Medicine alumni on Thursday, November 14 with an alumni spotlight lecture by Thomas O. Marxen, DDS, MSD (DEN ‘83) who presented Dental Infections Can Kill You! Many faculty and students also attended the lecture and afterward all enjoyed lunch together in the South Winter Garden. Later that evening many alumni ventured to Thwing Center to enjoy Blue Bash festivities. 

On Friday, November 15, dental alumni enjoyed a beautiful view of Sheila and Eric Samson Pavilion while eating breakfast on the third floor balcony. They had an opportunity to meet Dean Kenneth Chance, members of the Development and Alumni Relations Department, and members of the Alumni Association. After attending the university Alumni Awards luncheon, attendees met their classmates at the School of Dental Medicine Welcome Back Reception at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. The event featured cocktails and Cleveland style appetizers. Curators were on hand to answer questions about oral health history exhibits.
