Dr. A. Mamandras Distinguished Visitor in Graduate Orthodontics Fund
On June 20, the Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry hosted Dr. Mark Ziedenberg [M.Sc./97] and Dr. Kent Goldade [M.Sc./97], who gave a lecture titled “Lessons learned from 27 years in orthodontic private practice.”
The lecture was possible thanks to the generosity of Dr. Antonio Mamandras [M.Sc./80], who established the Dr. A. Mamandras Distinguished Visitor in Graduate Orthodontics Fund to support an annual lecture on orthodontics by a distinguished visitor or external examiner.
