In March, School of Dental Medicine Dean Kenneth Chance was named president-elect of the Supreme Chapter of Omicron Kappa Upsilon (OKU), the national dental honor society. Chance will serve as the president-elect until March 2022, when he will assume the role of president—and also become the society’s first Black president.
Since its founding in 1914, OKU has represented the highest standards of dentistry. Chance has been a member of this elite organization for almost 30 years, and was elected vice president in 2019.
