Dressed in their holiday finery, 516 Baylor College of Dentistry students, faculty, staff and guests gathered for the 12th annual Holiday Gala Dec. 7 at Le Meridien Hotel in Dallas. Party-goers enjoyed hors d'oeuvres, a buffet dinner

and dancing during the five-hour event. "It was fabulous, and everyone had a grand and glorious time," said Moira Allen, director of student affairs in the Office of Student and Alumni Services, who coordinated the event. "It gets bigger and bigger every year, and we had nearly 100 more people in attendance this year than last."

Holiday Gala Committee members included co-chairs Anna Brasher (D2) and Lisa Dowst (DH2) as well as the social chairs from all of the dental and dental hygiene classes.
