A Message from Dean Mark Wolff
Penn Dental Medicine and I are so pleased to congratulate our distinguished alumnus and colleague , Dr . Cary Limberakis ( D78 ), as president of the Pennsylvania Dental Association . Dr . Limberakis was among the first PDA officials to welcome me to the state in 2018 when I assumed the Morton Amsterdam deanship at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine . His leadership within the PDA ’ s Second District , culminating in this prestigious new role , brings great pride to his alma mater !
This occasion prompts some reflection on the many ways that Penn Dental Medicine ( PDM ) works collaboratively with PDA and others to advance oral health . The contributions of the many Penn Dental graduates in practice here in the Commonwealth – and those graduates of our sister schools Temple and Pittsburgh , are perhaps the most important contribution .
