Alumni, spouses, and friends all will enjoy Reunion 2011. It will feature special recognition for members of classes whose graduation years ended in a “1” or a “6” and for emeritus alumni—those who graduated more than 50 years ago.

Special awards will be presented to Dr. George J. Kottemann, ’55, Ortho ’59, Distinguished Dental Alumnus; Dr. Rand F. Harlow, ’92, Restorative ’97, DuBrul Faculty Achievement Award; Dr. Susan B. Doroshow, ’83, Towner Organized Dentistry Award; Dr. Thomas E. Emmering, ’60, Raffaele Suriano Award; Dr. Donald F. Doyle, ’78, Alumni Loyalty Award; and Dr. Charles F. DiFranco, Loyola ’81, Loyola Periodontics ’83, the Dr. Irwin B. Robinson President’s Leadership Award.

Amenities will include an open bar; hot hors d’oeuvres during the pre-event reception; wine at the tables during the dinner; and a sweet table with chocolate fountain after dinner. Valet parking will be only $4.

When you arrive at the Carlisle, you are greeted by a picturesque fountain outlined in beautifully landscaped floral designs. Double doors open up to an elegantly draped lobby studded by glistening chandeliers, and the dinner will be held in a beautiful ballroom.

The food at the Carlisle has earned ten Silver Platter Awards from Food Industry News. Meals are prepared from the finest ingredients by a chef with more than 20 years’ of experience, and served by white-gloved staff.

Table seating will be by class year. Color photographs will be taken of all classes and may be purchased at the event.

In recent years, more faculty, young alumni, and Loyola alumni have come in increasing numbers. There will be tables for Loyola alumni, so UIC College of Dentistry alumni are urged to invite their Loyola colleagues.
