MAKING IMPRESSIONS

Welcome to SLP 2013!

Dear Summer Learning Participants, Congratulations and welcome to the College of Dentistry at UF. We are glad you are here and look forward to getting to know you over the next three weeks. The Summer Learning Program, which is now in its 12th year, was

developed to recruit the best and brightest to the field of dentistry. You are

now considered part of this elite group. In this program, you will explore dentistry as a career, you will learn about the admissions process and how to become a successful dental school applicant and hopefully, you will learn about yourself. The one thing I know for sure is that you will be very busy!

I want to encourage all of you to use your time well here. Get to know each other--in years to come, you will be a source of support to one another. Take the time to talk to UFCD’s dental students and faculty; they can be an excellent source of information for you. Take every opportunity that is offered to you seriously; if a shadowing experience or workshop is not going as you’d hoped, I encourage you to take ownership of your time and look for ways to improve your experience.

I hope you have a most excellent experience! Please do not hesitate to seek me out with any questions, ideas and concerns.

All best and Go Gators! Dr. Patty Probert

About the Program

The Summer Learning Program (SLP) was started in 2002 and originally known as
“Summer of Learning” or “SOL.” Over the years, the program, currently funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), has developed and grown both in participant size and programming. The idea came from Dr. Nelson Logan, who was a previous director of multicultural affairs at the University of Florida College of Dentistry. He wanted to offer a program that allowed pre-dental students to explore dentistry and the admissions process while

promoting student self-reflection. SLP, an immersive learning program for Florida residents from

educationally or economically disadvantaged backgrounds or ethnic minority students, is offered to improve education for all, increase diversity, and improve access to care. The program offers a number of workshops including seminars about applying to dental school and hands-on lab activities to create dental models and perform dental procedures. From DAT test preps and professional etiquette workshops to speaker events from dental professionals, the Summer Learning Program has much to offer to its students. Additionally, SLP participants will have a chance to experience life on the University of Florida campus and in the city of Gainesville through their free time and from the social events hosted by SLP to encourage students to experience the UF community and lifestyle.

Jonathan Batlle

Advice to SLPers:

Noah Andone

Advice to SLPers:

“Take advantage of this opportunity and soak up all the information you will learn within those three weeks! It will be a lot and at times you might feel overwhelmed, but it will be gone before you know it. Also, don’t be afraid to talk to speakers you meet, dental students,t or anyone involved in the dental school. This is your opportunity to make great connections!”
“Set your goals high and don’t limit yourself to anything. The world is yours for the taking and it’s your job to go get it.”
“Really try to invest in this program because it is an opportunity that has the capability of changing your life. Also--bring a jacket to Sim Lab...”

Favorite SLP memory:

“My favorite memory was the camping trip during SLP. This was by far the most fun and relaxing event that allowed me to really get to know my other SLP friends.”

Favorite SLP memory:

“Sim Lab was my favorite memory because it really showed me that dentistry is much more than what I had originally thought it was. I had not been exposed to the lab side of dentistry until then, and it really opened my outlook on the career path.”

Favorite SLP memory:

“I think my favorite memory was on the last day when we all got up and spoke our thoughts about how this program had impacted us. It was really great to see how much we had learned in just three weeks and how many connections we had made, including with each other.”

Social Committee members continued on the next page

The SLP Social Committee works with the SLP Coordinator to organize social events for the program. Some social events this year include camping and tubing at Ginnie Springs, partner yoga, visiting some of Gainesville’s popular dining areas, and having fun at Gainesville Splitz Bowling and Gainesville Rock Gym.

Daili Diaz

Favorite Inspirational Quote:

“The world is not dangerous because of those who do harm but because of those who look at it without doing anything.”

- A. Einstein

Favorite SLP memory:

“One of the most exciting days of the SLP program was when I had the opportunity of returning to the periodontal clinic to observe a bone graft procedure. I have always had an interest in linking surgery and dentistry, and seeing the beauty of the techniques used and how well the periodontist

worked with the patient filled me with inspiration. Although this was only the first step of the treatment, it was exciting to

know that in a few months the patient was going to receive an implant and a new smile.”
SLP Social Committee members were previous SLP participants, and for this reason, they also serve as SLP mentors to the incoming class and can offer advice and share stories about their past SLP experience.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Favorite SLP memory:

“My favorite memory of SLP was the camping trip to Ginnie Springs. Socializing and spending quality time with previous SLPers, fellow SLPers and Alyssa was delightful. Speaking to previous SLPers was enjoyable because they answered many questions and gave us very useful advice. However, my fondest memory was tubing down the river through almost-freezing water and just getting a kick out of everyone’s reaction to the painfully cold water.”

Favorite SLP memory:

“The camping trip was by far the best memory. Late night pranks, s’mores, and bonding time in freezing cold water. There’s nothing better than that.” nothing.”

-Jim Bouchard

Favorite SLP memory:

“Besides the amazing times and experiences I had assisting in clinics and bonding with my fellow SLPers at camp-outs and other social events, my fondest memory is the closing banquet when everyone spoke about their experience. It really showed the impact SLP had on all of our lives and how close our SLP family became in those short three weeks.”

Ilona Ziatyk

Advice to SLPers:

“Pay attention and take notes in all the meetings/lectures. It will feel Iike you will remember all the information, but there is just so much that you learn during those three weeks, so try to stay organized.”

Favorite SLP memory:

“I really enjoyed the time we had during the simulation labs. It actually felt like we were dental students and it gave you a real feel of what dental school is like.”

Recognize any of these SLPers? The 2013 SLP social committee

members were standing in your same shoes just one year ago. They know what you’re going through, so if you have any questions or concerns, reach out to them during the program.

Jesus’ hobbies include drawing, soccer, and video games. He is described as sociable, organized, and dedicated. At South Florida State College, he was involved in Phi Theta Kappa, Soccer Club, and the Student Government Association. His career goal is to obtain a dental degree and return to his hometown to work with a local dentist or open his own practice. He largely hopes to help the Hispanic population in his area. Jesus is inspired by his parents, who never had the opportunity to study. Jesus said that this SLP opportunity is a “stepping stone for my American Dream.”

IRENE ISAZA

Irene’s career goal is to become a reputable dentist in a solo practice or practice with a few associates. She was president of the Student Health Advisory Club at Salt Lake Community College for two years and is currently an honorary member of Pre-Dental ASDA at UCF.

ognition for winning first place in a dental terminology competition. Irene is inspired by her step-mom Cindy who helped Irene realize the significance of perseverance when

it comes to living a life that one imagines. Irene’s dad also inspires her on a daily basis by celebrating her every success and constantly pushing her to work hard. He is the one responsible for instilling Irene’s value of being a life-long learner.

JOSE JACAS

Jose came to the U.S. in 2003 after being born in Bayamo, Cuba, and living in Caracas, Venezuela, with his family for ten years. As an involved high school student, he competed in state-level competitions for his track and cross country teams, took private art lessons with artist Willin Del Pino, and was also a part of the school’s swim team.

Jose currently volunteers at Shands, is involved in cystic fibrosis research, and is the

volunteer coordinator for Gator Advocates for Word Health. Jose, who’s role model is his older brother Sergio, hopes to one day be a dentist and to have the honor of taking care of patients, relieving them from pain, and educating them. Jose’s mother was always his dentist when he was young and his brother is currently a third-year dental

student. This has provided him the opportunity to get close to the field and experience

a glimpse of this environment. However, he believes that all he has learned so far will be minuscule compared to the full experience that SLP offers.

    Memories of Student Murders Fade for Some, Not All

    Memories of student murders fade for some, not all Today's students are too young to remember slayings, yet lessons from that terrible time remain. Aaron Daye/Staff photographer Alan Nicotra, left, and Core Portnoy hold a plaque on the Southwest 34th Street walll dedicated to the victims of Danny Rolling. By Nathan Crabbe Staff writer Published: Sunday, August 22, 2010 at 6:01 a.m. Last Modified: Saturday, August 21, 2010 at 11:02 p.m. Twenty years after the murders of five Gainesville college students, memories of the tragedy have faded, and some people worry that a sense of complacency has set in among students. This week's anniversary of the killings will be marked by a memorial event Thursday at the University of Florida. But most current UF students are too young to remember the brutal slayings, and the execution of Danny Rolling for the crimes in 2006 has further moved the case out of the public consciousness. "The sadness here is our students don't know anything about this," UF President Bernie Machen said. "I'm not sure whether the best thing is to resurrect it or just to move forward and keep focusing on 'Be safe and have a healthy lifestyle.' " It was on a day like today, the Sunday before the start of UF's fall semester, that the first victims were found in August 1990. Gainesville attorney Rod Smith remembered it being an optimistic time - John Lombardi had just started as UF president and Steve Spurrier as head football coach - before the murders brought it crashing down.

    ROSLYN F. LEVY GRI, CRS, Broker Associate, REALTOR® 7515 W University Ave, #201 Gainesville, FL 32607 Bus (352) 335-4999 Fax (352) 264-3152 Direct (352) 264-3151 Cell (352) 870-9100 Congratulations on being one of the new house officers coming to the University of [email protected] Florida. I would like to offer my assistance, as a Realtor, in finding the kind of housing that best suits your needs. My husband is a physician and we have lived in Gainesville since the early 1970’s. Over the last 35 years I have helped hundreds of residents and fellows find their homes. Most have made a nice profit when they have finished their training and sold their homes---and a few have remained, making Gainesville their permanent residence. As a member of the Multiple Listing Service and the longest established real estate company in Gainesville, we have access to the listings of all other member offices and are able to offer a prospective buyer a large selection of homes in various price ranges and neighborhoods. Let me know how I can help you and I can send you some current listings with photos for you to review. I look forward to meeting you and will set aside time for us to look at places as soon as you let me know the dates of your visit. Please call or e-mail me with any questions you may have. Sincerely, Roslyn Roslyn F. Levy, GRI, CRS Broker, Senior Vice-President Coldwell Banker M.M.
