Annual Dean's Holiday Lunch

Faculty and staff interacting at the winter holiday luncheon

 

The Atrium at Postle Hall was buzzing with holiday spirit this December as the College of Dentistry community gathered for the annual Dean’s Holiday Lunch. For students, residents, faculty, and staff, this beloved tradition is more than a meal—it’s a chance to pause, reconnect, and celebrate the season together.

The highlight of the afternoon was Dean Trotman and college leaders carving turkey for guests, serving up holiday favorites with all the fixings. The event offered a welcome break from busy schedules and a reminder of the strong sense of community that defines the college.

As plates emptied and people lingered, one thing was clear: this tradition continues to be a cherished moment for everyone at Postle Hall.
