Dentistry on the Diamond

Posted by Faculty of Dentistry on September 5, 2012 in Community Highlights

On Wednesday, August 29, students, faculty and staff from 新加坡六合彩开奖直播鈥檚 Faculty of Dentistry participated in its newly resurrected faculty softball tournament.

Six teams encompassing more than 75 players (and dozens of their biggest fans) took to the nearby Gorsebrook and St. Francis fields for an afternoon of fun in the sun. In the end, the Third-Year Dentistry team (pictured above) prevailed, winning all their games and a tug of war challenge to determine the championship.

The afternoon also included a charity BBQ, organized by Scotiabank, which raised more than $500 for the Faculty of Dentistry鈥檚 Oral Health Development Fund.

鈥淚鈥檓 really glad to see this tournament back again after a 20-year absence,鈥 said Tom Boran, Dean of the Faculty (who was sidelined with an ankle injury). 鈥淚t鈥檚 been the talk of the building for weeks, and that鈥檚 the kind of buzz that we love! The Faculty of Dentistry is committed to health and wellness, and this is just one of the ways that we鈥檙e encouraging our faculty, staff and students to live active lifestyles.鈥

Earlier in the year, 30 members of the faculty participated in a weight loss challenge inspired by TV鈥檚 The Biggest Loser. Collectively, the group lost a collective 290 pounds over the first six months of 2012.

So what鈥檚 next for the Faculty of Dentistry as it continues its quest for health and wellness?
