White gloves and white wellies
Dental school tradition is turned on its head in Aberdeen
It is traditional in most dental schools to award a pair of white gloves to the dean in the event that every single final year student passes their exams at the first sitting.
This year, the final year at both Aberdeen and Dundee all passed at the first attempt but the two schools celebrated in markedly different styles. Dundee Dental School dean Professor Mark Hector received his second set of white gloves after being presented with a pair in 2015.
However, Professor Richard Ibbetson at Aberdeen received an altogether more unusual gift. A member of Aberdeen staff said: “Richard didn’t really want any fuss about him during the students’ graduation when the focus should be on what they have all achieved.
“They duly ignored him and got him a pair of white wellies, as he likes to inform people he’s been drafted in to the wettest dental school in the UK. Apparently it rains too much up here!”
Prof Ibbetson said: “The staff at the dental school are delighted that in, May 2017 100 per cent of the students presented for the BDS final examinations were successful, graduating in June 2017. We offer our congratulations and best wishes for their futures and we look forward to watching their careers within the dental profession with interest.”
Prof Hector said: “It is always a special occasion to be presented with the white gloves as they represent the achievements of all of our graduates. The class of 2017 have excelled themselves and my colleagues and I in the dental school are delighted to extend our congratulations to them all.”
