Achievement Award

Award policy

The WVU School of Dentistry Alumni Association Board of Governors has established the following policy concerning the award:

  • This is not an annual award. Rather, it is given annual consideration by the Board.
  • The award is to be presented to an individual for service to the profession, the state, and the WVU School of Dentistry. Other qualifications presented on behalf of nominees will, of course, be considered by the Board.
  • All nominations must be made in writing.
  • All final decisions regarding this award will be made by the Board of Governors of the Alumni Association.

Deadline for nomination is December.
