2011 Spring Synergy Weekend
04/15/2011
The Third Annual Spring Synergy weekend, which combines continuing education, research, the American Student Dental Association, and some Gator spirit with the Orange and Blue game, was a great success.
Held at the college and in other locations around campus and in Gainesville, the events are designed to bring together college alumni, students, faculty and staff in multiple events.
The Continuing Dental Education group brought in world class presenters Dr. Kenneth Malament, Tufts University, and Dr. Richard Darveau, University of Washington, who presented for just under 200 student, faculty and practitioners. Malament lectured on “Integration of Esthetic Dentistry in Routine and Complex Prosthodontics,” and Darveau spoke about, “Periodontitis: A Community Affair.”
The Office of Research hosted the Celebration of Science portion of the weekend on Friday which included poster sessions and presentations, culminating in an award reception late in the afternoon (award winners listed below). That evening everyone was invited to the ASDA Vendor Fair & Reception at the Paramount Hotel.
Saturday marked a chance for football fans itching to get a look at the 2011 Gator football team and the new football coach during the Orange & Blue Spring Game. The ASDA golf tournament rounded out the weekend of activities on Sunday.
