A MESSAGE FROM TINA TSAI, CLASS OF 2T1
In this season of giving thanks, and especially during this pandemic, I want to express sincere gratitude for other’s generosity, in recognition that we have more than ourselves to credit for our achievements. Whether it be through tangible financial support in the form of donor awards, to the intangible — yet invaluable — wisdom imparted by the faculty, staff and our clinical instructors, our pursuit of dental education has been made easier by those who traversed the path before us.

As the Class of 2021 approaches graduation, we strive to give back as much as we have received — now, and in the years to come. Thank you to every donor, volunteer, instructor, sponsor, and others whose contributions help catalyze this cycle of “paying it forward.”

Sincerely,
Tina Tsai, Class of 2T1
