5/18/10: T-Shirt Design Contest!


Well the year is almost over, and you all know what that means! It's time for us to choose our t-shirt design for next years' club t-shirt! Every year we have a lot of really great submissions so please keep that going! Here are some of the RULES for what needs to be on the t-shirt if you planning to design one:

1) The shirt CANNOT use the university seal, cal aggie logo, or contain the words "UC Davis"
2) Design must contain the words "PDS" and "Davis Pre-Dental Society
3) Only 3 design submissions per person
4) Final design must be in .jpg format
5) Include your name, email address and phone number with your design
6) Work must be original
7) HAVE FUN!!

The person who creates the winning design will receive $35, a free t-shirt, and of course, the bragging rights that come with having your design worn by students in the club!! I know we have some creative people out there so get out there and design!

You can submit the designs in person, or by email to me, Nellie Ghazal <nghazal@udavis.edu> if you would like to submit in person, email me  to arrange a day and time to meet on campus! All designs must be submitted by Monday, May 24th. Thanks everyone, let me know if you have questions!

5/11/10: Officer Election Sign Ups

So the time has come to elect next years' club officers!! Please join us THIS THURSDAY (5/13/2010) at 6:30pm in Wellman 06 for the officer election sign ups!! Please note this event is only to sign up to run for a position. There will be no voting at this meeting. For those of you who are interested, all of the current officers will be there to tell you the responsibilities of their positions and can also answer any questions you may have about being an officer. Even if you do not sign up to become an officer, attending the meeting will still earn you ONE PDS POINT towards the three required for active membership! We will also have FREE PIZZA so don't miss out!

If you cannot make it to this meeting and you would like to sign up to run to become an officer, please email me your first and last name and the officer position you would like to run for. I will also be sending out a list of candidates after we have the meeting so that you can see who is running for each position.

4/14/10: UOP Tour

We have an event coming up on Friday, May 21st where we will be visiting the Arthur Dugoni School of Dentistry at UOP in San Francisco! This is a great opportunity for you to meet dental students, the admissions director (Kathy Candito) and have any questions about DAT's, admissions and dental school in general, answered! Below is the schedule for the day:

Visit at University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry.

ˇ         Location: 2155 Webster Street, San Francisco, CA 94115

ˇ         11:30am-12pm Q& A Session

ˇ         12pm-1pm Guided Tour with Current Students

ˇ         1pm-1:30pm Pizza Lunch with Current Students

ˇ         Instructions for Day of Visit: Because of the large number of attendees, please have your group wait in Café Cagnone, which is located on the 2nd floor. 

We will arrange carpools once we have some of you signed up for the tour. Please let us know if you can drive and how many other people you can take with you if possible! The tour we had two years ago at UOP was very informative and fun- plus they really like students from UCD :) We look forward to seeing you there!

Please contact Pallavi Choudhry <pchoudhry@ucdavis.edu> if you would like to attend

1/29/10: Raise Money for PDS Charities using Goodsearch!

Want to help raise money for some of PDS's favorite charities?  All
you have to do is make a quick search!  Our club is now part of
GoodSearch.  GoodSearch is a search engine powered by Yahoo that
donates a certain percentage of each search made to our organization.
Using it is free and easy and generates the same results as other
search engines.

 To use it go to: http://www.goodsearch.com and below the search
bar there is a gray box that says "Who do you GoodSearch For?"  Enter
our group in the box (Davis Predental Society or pre dental society) and click verify/enter. The box will now read in Bold letters "University of California Davis
- Pre Dental Society (Davis, CA)" and beneath red letters will say
"Search now and money will go to your designated cause."  This
guarantees that our club will receive credit for your searches.  You
only need to do this part once, GoodSearch will automatically remember
you for next time.

Make Good Search your home page or add it as a Bookmark to your web
browser!  The more legitimate searches you make, the more money we can
generate for our organization.  So please, spread the word to others
and make Good Search your new search engine :)

If 100 of our members average just 2 searches per day we can generate
$730 per year!  We can then donate this money to some of our favorite
charities
