VCU Class of 2013 Reflects Planned Recruitment of Students from Southside and Southwest Virginia
Posted on July 02, 2009
When the VCU School of Dentistry began planning the new Perkinson Building, Dean Ron Hunt said, "The additional space will allow us to increase the size of the dental class from 90 to 100 and recruit 10 additional students from Southside and Southwest Virginia.
The Admissions Committee, under the leadership of Dr. Mike Healy, Assistant Dean for Admissions, recently completed the selection of the Class of 2013 who will start school in July 2009. The class composition may change slightly but little or no change is expected in enrollment of Virginia students. The Admissions Committee worked to keep the needs of Virginians in the forefront of the selection process as they considered over 2,500 qualified applicants.
The next class will have 15 students from those regions. They hail from Valentines, Honaker, Duffield, South Boston, Wise, Roanoke (3), Penhook (2), Salem (3), Pulaski, and Galax.
