“I want to congratulate all the 2010 fellows,” Dr. Dugoni said during the ceremony. “Your life will never be the same. It’s a wonderful opportunity to lead, and I am grateful for this award.”
Dr. Dugoni was the only honoree to receive the award in person during the ADA’s Annual Session in October. Dr. Dugoni, dean emeritus of the University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry, has been an ACD fellow for more than 50 years. The dental school was named after Dr. Dugoni in 2004.
