The UK College of Dentistry hosted alumni, friends, and students for the Fall Symposium and Alumni Weekend, sponsored by the UKCD Alumni Association. The gathering started on a Friday with the awarding of two UKCD Alumni Association Scholarships in the amount of $2,000 each to Class of 2025 members TJ Huster and Harrison Roberts (not pictured), followed by a continuing education course on financial planning and wealth management presented by 1996 and 1998 NCAA Men’s Basketball Champion and UK alum Jeff Sheppard. The class of 2025 was invited by the UKCD Alumni Association to attend the course alongside other participants.

Later in the day, our alumni enjoyed Big Blue Day in Keeneland’s Phoenix Room.

During an evening reception at Spindletop Hall, Dr. Wesley Coffman (’78) and Dr. Greg White (’88) were honored as UKCD Distinguished Alumni of the Year.  The reunion year for the classes of 1969, 1974, 1979, 1984, 1989, 1994, 1999, 2004, 2009, 2014 and 2019 were also celebrated at the reception.
