“As the president of the DH Class of 2022, I would like to say a huge thank you to all of the students who helped make these fundraisers a success,” said Reham Abuabeileh. “It wouldn’t have happened without their help and effort. These fundraisers required lots of planning and organization, so thank you.

“Also, I would like to thank everyone who stopped by to support the DH2 class. Thank you for taking the time to contribute and support the DH Class of 2022 for their future class and graduation activities. We’re glad we have such supporting community at UTHealth Houston School of Dentistry. It's sincerely appreciated by each one of us.”
