Goldman School of Dental Medicine (GSDM) Class of 2019 arrived for commencement in a rainstorm, shielding themselves with umbrellas or holding their gowns over their heads. But at the last second, the rain abated, and the Class of 2019 trooped into the Boston University Track and Tennis Center, a sea of red and black under overcast skies. “As you look beside you, behind you, and in front of you— realize that these special individuals have been your support, your comrades, your colleagues, your friends and your family for the time of your tenure at Boston University,” said Dean Jeffrey W.

Goldman School of Dental Medicine.” (continued on page 22)
