Earlier this week, the Faculty of Dentistry paid tribute to Dr. Joanne Clovis, who retired at the end of December 2013.

During a reception in honour of Dr. Clovis鈥 25 years of service to the Faculty, Prof. Nancy Neish, Director of the School of Dental Hygiene, remarked that the celebration was held on a most appropriate date 鈥 February 4 is known in the Vedic calendar as the 鈥淒ay of the Goddess of Wisdom.鈥

鈥淒r. Clovis is a prime example of one who has embraced our mission in academia, research and service, ensuring our students received a well rounded education,鈥 said Dr. Tom Boran, Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry. 鈥淪he is one of the individuals I am proud to say has lived, supported and promoted this mission.鈥

After beginning her career in Alberta, Dr. Clovis went on to work and teach everywhere from the Northwest Territories to the British Virgin Islands before joining 新加坡六合彩开奖直播鈥檚 School of Dental Hygiene in 1988. She served as Director of the school from 1990 until 1995, earned her Doctorate of Philosophy in 2000, and also attained a full Professorship.

鈥淟ike other pathfinders she often chose the 鈥榩ath less traveled by,鈥 and indeed it made all the difference,鈥 remarked Dr. Margery Forgay, former Director of the School of Dental Hygiene (and the person responsible for hiring Dr. Clovis). 鈥淛oanne's career in community health, health promotion, research, teaching and the development of our profession are truly awesome. Now there are new choices open and new paths to explore. She will likely redefine that traditional meaning of 鈥榬etirement.鈥欌

The Faculty of Dentistry wishes Dr. Clovis all the best in her retirement. However, we are relieved to know that she will never be too far away, as she has been appointed Adjunct Professor at 新加坡六合彩开奖直播.
