School of Dentistry director of DDS/PhD programs, Bill Marshall, helped hood some of the graduates. "This graduation was particularly sweet for me," Dr. Marshall said. "I recruited and have watched these students grow and develop for about eight years. Now we are educating many more who are following fast in their footsteps. In essence we see UCSF as the key institutional leader in filling the shortfall in dental education, and we are doing it with the best and the brightest."
