CDM has a solid history of excellence and achievement, but w= can't ride a bicycle to get to the moon. I hope that we can inspire you=to consider helping CDM to achieve a vision shared by all: CDM will be ind=sputably ranked among the top 5 dental schools, and arguably #1 by any mea=ure. We are all going to deeply miss Ira's leadership, wisdom, and day =o day presence, but I am certain he will help in any way that he can going=forward and be available 24/7. University Presidents/Deans come and go, bu= the overall vision does not change too much—new leaders adjust the road=map.
