Dean Lawrence Goldblatt welcomes all students, staff, and faculty to the annual IUSD HOLIDAY PARTY, 3-5 p.m. in the school's basement lounge. Take a few minutes this afternoon to get together with your friends, colleagues, and classmates to wish them the best for the holidays and a new year filled with good health and fortune. Come down to the lounge to partake of some scrumptious food. Come for the wonderful company -- you can introduce yourself to, or get reacquainted with, some of the school's special guests, or just take a moment to let your regular IUSD pals and cohorts know how much you appreciate their friendship and support. Come for the opportunity to wish our students good luck with their exams, especially those who are maneuvering through assessment and finals week for the first time and could benefit from a few words of encouragement. Come for the chance to ask students in their final year of studies what their plans are at the end of the school year. What better place to fill your heart with gladness -- and your plate with cookies? Come one, come all to Holiday Party '03!

Last day to contribute items (by noon, please) to the Staff Council's HOLIDAY PROJECT 2003, which is coordinated by Nicole Guerrettaz of the Department of Oral Pathology, Medicine, and Radiology; and Nadine Florek of Technology Services. This year, the council has turned its focus to the Ronald McDonald House, where children who are undergoing treatment at Riley Hospital and other area hospitals stay with their families. (The Ronald McDonald House can accommodate up to 60 families at one time.) Items are being collected to assist the families who will be staying at the house with their youngsters over the holidays. All contributed items must be new, and must be labeled (content, size, etc.) if they have been gift-wrapped. Everything from blankets to bibs to booties are needed for infants and newborns, and gifts such as phone cards, disposable cameras, stationery, and food baskets would be of great assistance to the families while they are away from their homes. Toothbrushes, toothpaste, and other oral care products are also needed. For a full list of items needed and to learn where you can make a donation, watch for details coming soon from Nikki and Nadine. The Staff Council will deliver the gifts to the Ronald McDonald House tomorrow.

SCHOLARSHIP. Congratulations to third-year dental student Aaron Strickland, who has received a scholarship from the Southeastern District Dental Society. The Southeastern Society Dental Education Scholarship is given in part for academic excellence, and is intended for residents or former residents of a nine-county area in the southeastern part of Indiana. Aaron is from North Vernon. He is the second annual recipient of the scholarship, which was established in 2002.

DR. ANDRES RECEIVES ACADEMY'S HIGHEST HONOR. Describing him as a "self-made man" and a "distinguished lecturer" who has "served his profession in many capacities," the American Academy of Maxillofacial Prosthetics (AAMP) has bestowed upon Dr. Carl Andres the Andrew J. Ackerman Award, which represents the highest degree of recognition for lifetime achievement that a member of the academy can receive.

Named in memory of a leader in the field of maxillofacial prosthetics, the award was presented to Dr. Andres at the annual scientific session in Scottsdale, Ariz., in November. He is the 26^th recipient in an awards program that dates back 44 years.

A longtime professor of prosthodontics and director of graduate prosthodontics at IU, Dr. Andres is a past president of the AAMP and a diplomate of the American Board of Prosthodontics. He holds fellowship in the American College of Dentists, American College of Prosthodontists, American Academy of Fixed Prosthodontics, and Academy of Prosthodontics. For the latter, he has devoted much of his time over the years as a participant of the academy-sponsored outreach projects that serve communities in need, such as caring for the dental needs of diabetic Native Americans on the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana.

Dr. Andres was cited by the AAMP for a lifetime body of work that has included service to his country as a Colonel in the United States Air Force and his outstanding efforts as an educator, author, editor, invited lecturer, specialty board examiner, and organizational leader. He is a former director of the USAF maxillofacial prosthetics residency program at Wilford Hall Medical Center, Lackland Air Force Base, Texas.
