The student awardees were also delighted to have the opportunity to meet and show their appreciation to their benefactors. Beyond that\, the event served as a reunion for the alumni members who reconnected with their peers\, seniors and juniors. \nAt the dinner\, our Dean\, Professor Patrick Finbarr Allen expressed his appreciation for the generosity and continuous support of our donors through the years. He shared with the guests that the Faculty will begin moving to the new National University Centre for Oral Health Singapore (NUCOHS) in October 2018\, and the Centre is expected to be fully operational by mid-2019. More than just a new building bringing NUS Faculty of Dentistry and the National University Hospital’s dental clinical services under one roof\, NUCOHS aims to transform health outcomes of Singaporeans through the provision of holistic oral healthcare. \nThe Faculty is launching a class giving campaign in conjunction with the official opening of NUCOHS and the Faculty’s 90th Anniversary celebrations in 2019. The Dean announced that Dr Loh Poey Ling\, Dr Chiew Yim Tho and Dr Ng Fooi Chin from the BDS Class of ’84 have very kindly stepped forward as some of the first Class Champions in this exciting campaign.
