FROM THE INTERIM DEAN
Dear Alumni and Friends,
A
s I write, it’s been nearly two months since Harvard
University and Harvard School of Dental Medicine
(HSDM) took unprecedented measures to protect
the health and safety of our community and those
around us from the threat of coronavirus (COVID-
19). We shifed to online teaching and learning, ramped down
our research labs, and transitioned the Harvard Dental Center
to emergency care only. Our students, faculty, and staf have
been resourceful and resilient in adapting to the new HSDM;
you can learn about our response in this issue. In the days
ahead we hope to share what the path forward will look like
for HSDM.
A bright spot in the School’s future will surely be the leader-
ship of our new dean, William Giannobile, DMSc96, PD96. An
educator and leader in the feld of periodontology and an internationally recognized scholar, Will
was named dean of HSDM in April. As an alumnus who is familiar with the HSDM community,
Will knows the School’s distinctive history and is well-poised to shape its future. I’m delighted to
welcome him back to HSDM and to work with him when he joins us on September 1.
Tis is the time of year we celebrate our students and their accomplishments at Research Day,
Commencement, and Class Day. While we can’t meet in person this year, we will connect and
celebrate our students virtually. In this issue you can read about a team of HSDM students who are
planning for a learning environment where video instruction supplements classroom instruction.
Teir inventive and timely idea has earned them a spot as semi-fnalists in the 2020 President’s
Innovation Challenge, a University-wide venture capital competition.
We are fortunate to have a dedicated community of alumni and friends who care about each
other and the School. Tis spring we’ll miss seeing you in person at Alumni Day and Reunion, but
hopefully it’s not long before we can all gather once again. We are a small school with a big heart. Let’s
continue to look out for each other.
