Happy Veterans Day to all our faculty and students in the military!! Thank you for your service to our country and to our profession!!

Mark Alan Gilkerson (D3) pictured with his Marine Corp unit said, “I have fond memories of my time in the Marine Corps. It gave me many of the habits and skills that I value, and I feel that my past experiences from the service aid me now in dental school. Like dental school, in the military you form very close bonds with the people you work with, learn to step outside you comfort zone, and get to experience new and unique things that many people never will. It’s a privilege to have been involved with both, and I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything.”
