Distinguished Alumnus

The Distinguished Alumnus Award is the highest award presented by the Texas A&M School of Dentistry Alumni Association. It serves to honor alumni who have contributed distinguished service to the college and/or the dental profession.

Eligible candidates must be alumni of Texas A&M School of Dentistry (Baylor College of Dentistry and/or Baylor University College of Dentistry) and may be dental or dental hygiene graduates.

Nominations are solicited from the alumni, faculty and staff and are reviewed by the selection committee.

The award is only presented if the Selection Committee determines a suitable candidate.
