The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents recently awarded Dr. Ronald Woody professor emeritus status for his contributions to the college’s restorative sciences department.

During that time, he helped develop the 20 course-curriculum covering fixed and removable prosthodontics. In addition, Woody spent 10 years as director of implant dentistry at the college. Prior to coming to Texas A&M Baylor College of Dentistry in 1984, Woody served in the U.S. Army Dental Corps, directing research and residency programs for 21 years.
