Member of Dental Honor Society - 1982

I was nominated to the Omicron Kappa Upsilon Honor Society in 1982.  This is a Dental Honor Society which is conferred in a two-step process. The first by the student's attainment within the top 20% of a school's graduating class.  Second, by a faculty vote based on qualities including character, service, research, etc.
