LLU designates Charles Goodacre

Colleagues, friends, and family gathered July 9, 2015, in the Santa Barbara Room of Riverside’s Mission Inn to celebrate with Charles Goodacre, DDS’71, MSD, his designation by Loma Linda University as Distinguished Professor at the School of Dentistry. The special merit rank is awarded to a full-time faculty member who has made distinguished contributions in teaching, research, publication, or creative work.

In approving Dr. Goodacre’s appointment to distinguished professor in May (effective July1), the LLU Board of Trustees made official what was already fact.

Dr. Dailey and Dr. Goodacre share a laugh.

Dean Ronald Dailey led the happy occasion with warmth and wit as colleagues gave testimony to Dr. Goodacre’s effect on their professional lives interspersed with small, collegial servings of roast.

L-R: Robert Handysides, DDS’93, associate dean, Academic Affairs; Douglass Roberts, DDS’66, MS’77, emeritus professor, Restorative Dentistry; Paul Richardson, DDS’72, MED, associate dean, Clinic Administration; and Mrs. Minnie Handysides.
