WELCOME TO OCTOBER!

Is that Christmas in the air?

Hey there!

Happy New Month. It’s October already and the smell of Christmas is beginning to set in! How was the previous month for you? Smashed those goals, innit?

It's also a good time to wish our beloved country an Happy independence Day, and to reflect on our 63-year journey as a country: Are we really independent? Regardless, we'll keep hoping and working towards the Nigeria of our dream.

As we gear up for a fantastic October, let's take a moment to bask in the glory of our September achievements. It's been a whirlwind month filled with excitement, learning, and big wins!

Navigating New Beginnings: 200-Level Orientation

We launched September with a bang! Our 200-level students got a VIP ticket to the dental world with a stellar orientation program. It was like sending them on an adventurous journey, armed with knowledge and enthusiasm.

Excos visit to the 100 level -300 level classes

Our executive committee members embarked on a mission impossible (well, not really) – they visited classes from 100-level to 300-level. The result? Meaningful connections, addressing concerns, and gathering invaluable feedback.

The Research Revolution Begins

September marked the birth of our Research Committee. It's a gateway to exciting dental research and innovation. Who knows, we might be nurturing future research geniuses!

I’m especially excited about this project as it will be a chance for the younger members of the association to explore their interests in research and, maybe one day, become active members of Dentiscope Editorial Board and global research organizations.

Oral Biology Distinctions

Let's give a standing ovation to Dike Emmanuella, Akpa Simon Adimchinobi, and Salami Anu from the 600-level for their outstanding performance in Oral Biology. You're an inspiration to us all!

Victory in the National Elections

History was made when our association secured victory in the national election at NADS. The secretariat is back in Ibadan's capable hands! 🙌 This win reflects our unity and commitment to excellent leadership. Congratulations to the President, General Secretary, Treasurer and P.R.O 1 of the National association of Dental Student. We all wish you a successful tenure.

Graduation in view

Our final-year students are on the verge of becoming the freshest Ibadan Dentists! 🎉 Their dedication and hard work are commendable, and we can't wait to celebrate their success.

Game On: Dr. Afọlábí Ogunderu Inter-Dental School Games Day

Get ready for a showdown! On October 7th, we'll show ULADS how we do things, Ibadan way, plus, a movie night for some well-deserved relaxation. Let's come out in our numbers to support to footballers and relax.

300-Level Warriors, Keep Pushing!

To our 300-level students, battling tests and challenges – we see you and believe in you! Keep pushing, keep grinding, and you'll reach greatness.
