GSDM Employee Recognition Reception Recognizes Long-Serving Faculty and Staff
On May 29, Dean Jeffrey W. Hutter and Mrs. Kathy Hutter hosted a reception honoring Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine (GSDM) retirees and those that have served the School for 25 years.
“As we acknowledge and recount all that these individuals do to contribute to the success of our students, patients, and our School I am reminded how critical the contributions of each and every member of our team are to the fulfillment of our mission,” said Dean Hutter. “I truly appreciate and value each and every member of our Henry M. Goldman School Dental Medicine family and I am proud to honor the extraordinary contributions of these individuals tonight.”
Dean Hutter recognized staff member Ms. Leslie Baker and faculty members Dr. Efrain Ruiz, Dr. Philip Trackman, Dr. Magnolia Venegas, and Dr. Jonathan Zucker for their dedication to the School for the last 25 years. Also recognized for 25 years of service, but not present at the reception was Dr. Neal Fleisher.
Dean Hutter then presented remarks about Mrs. Jackie Gallant, who retired in June of 2011 after 25 years of service and attended the ceremony with her husband and daughter. He joked that while she seemed to be enjoying her retirement that there was always a spot for her here at GSDM. Concluding the ceremony, “To each of the honorees, please accept my sincere appreciation for your service and contributions,” said Dean Hutter. “It is truly people like you who make our School a center for excellence in oral health education, research, and care in the world.”
