While the Dallas County Dental Society and Texas A&M Health Science Center Baylor College of Dentistry have worked together for years, this partnership was especially apparent at the May 19 DCDS dinner and awards ceremony, where one of the college’s alumni, Dr. William Gerlach ’87, was installed as the society’s 2011-2012 president.

Faculty and other alumni didn’t leave the event empty-handed either. Of the six awards given, four went to individuals who are employed by or have attended TAMHSC-BCD.
