drive their own cars to agricultural areas, using “anything han-

Alumni
Dear Ostrow School of
Dentistry alumni and friends,
Welcome to the latest issue of the TroDent! It’s great to
see how enthusiastically everyone has responded to the
relaunch of the TroDent. We’ve received many wonder-
ful suggestions, story ideas, and submissions—please
keep them coming!
In this issue, we spotlight the faculty of the Ostrow
School of Dentistry of USC. These amazing individuals
have not only shaped our education but have also had
a profound influence on our career directions and pro-
fessional successes. This issue serves as an opportunity
to voice our appreciation for the hardworking teachers
and mentors who may not realize the huge impact they
have had on our lives.
In addition, we have the opportunity to learn more
about the “Secret Lives of Dental Alumni,” thanks to
great submissions from our colleagues who have some
pretty exciting hobbies! We also hear from recent DDS
graduate Joseph Field, who reflects on his experience
as a student at the Ostrow School of Dentistry and how
his education has had an impact on his transition into
private practice in Northern California.
I want to personally thank all of my alumni colleagues
for their support of the new TroDent as well as for their
involvement with the relaunched Alumni Association
and the Ostrow School of Dentistry as a whole. It’s
great to see everyone reconnecting with the School
and with each other. This is truly an amazing time to be
a member of the Trojan Dental Family.
Fight On!

Century Club:
2011 Alumni Volunteer
Organization of the Year
USC’s Volunteer Recognition Dinner salutes the dedication
and service of the Ostrow alumni group. By Beth Dunham
The Ostrow School of Dentistry’s Century
Club has been named the 2011 Alumni Vol-
unteer Organization of the Year as part of the
annual USC Alumni Association Volunteer
Recognition Dinner.
During the dinner, held at USC’s Town and
Gown on Sept. 16, the Century Club was
recognized for its history of service, gener-
osity and dedication to the Ostrow School
of Dentistry. Donna Smith DH ’74 former
president of the Century Club, accepted the
award on behalf of the group and shared
some of the history and ideas behind its
formation.
“Dr. Fred Olds, an Ostrow School of Dentistry
graduate, started the Century Club in 1955
after he had what seemed like a simple vi-
sion: an organized group of dedicated alumni

fellow graduates,” she said. Donna Smith DH ’74 accepted the 2011 Alumni Volunteer Organization of the Year Award for the Century Club.
Smith is pictured here with Lisa Barkett, USC Board of Governors President and Scott M. Mory, Esq., Associate
Senior Vice President for University Advancement and CEO of the USC Alumni Association.
