Three faculty and staff retirees were recognized at this year’s Staff Holiday Lunch. Each were presented with a personalized memento commemorating their service and retirement. The keepsake features a picture of the school that includes well wishes from colleagues and students.  Because of the pandemic, they were previously recognized at a virtual event but it was wonderful honoring some of them in-person. Those included:

Sharon Codilla (38 years)
Senior dental assistant
Dental Faculty Practice

Lynn Prine (8 years)
Senior dental assistant
Radiology Clinic, Department of Oral Pathology, Radiology and Medicine

Dr. Richard Prine (DDS ’73, 26 years)
Clinical associate professor
Department of Restorative Clinical Sciences
