HOMECOMING WEEKEND SEPTEMBER 30 - OCTOBER 2, 2016
More than 400 College of Dentistry alumni came back to campus this fall for Homecoming Weekend. Alumni from as far away as Arizona and California kicked off the Homecoming weekend on Friday by earning CE credit at Post College Assembly (PCA) and learning about implementing an evidence-based dental practice. The Classes of 1971, 1981, 1986, and 1991 held reunion celebrations throughout the weekend while members of the Class of 1966 were specially recognized as the college's newest Golden Buckeyes during a 50th Anniversary luncheon at the Ohio Union. On Saturday, alumni stopped by the college’s annual Buckeye Tailgate for food, camaraderie, and a viewing of the college’s first-place winning Homecoming float before they headed to Ohio Stadium to cheer the Buckeyes to a decisive win over Rutgers. 1 | William Biggs, ’71 DDS; Barbara Biggs; Ric Bush, ’71 DDS; Judy Bush; Bob Driver, ’71 DDS; and Mary Jo Driver at the Tailgate.
