It’s recruitment season, and faculty and alumni are on the road, encouraging students to apply to Texas A&M College of Dentistry. As part of what’s called Texas Southern Swing Week, Texas universities last week hosted pre-health fairs for their undergraduates.

Alicia Spence, clinical assistant professor in comprehensive dentistry and director of recruitment and admissions at A&M Dentistry, traveled Feb. 17 to Texas A&M University’s main campus in College Station and Feb. 18 to The University of Texas at Austin. She visited with more than 200 students.
