When Glenda Butt (DDH’69) was director of the Faculty of Dentistry’s School of Dental Hygiene from 1994 to 2007, she made a pact with herself that she could not retire until a bachelor of dental hygiene program was available at Dalhousie University.
Despite delays and disappointments, the program accepted its first students in 2007. Now Butt is supporting the program and its students in a different way: through the Glenda M. Butt Bursary in Dental Hygiene for students entering the bachelor of dental hygiene program.
