The award recognizes excellence in teaching and mentoring and is presented to the faculty member who receives the most student votes. Each class votes for one faculty member. The third-year students (class of 2013) selected Dr. Van. &#8220;Dr. Van is truly an inspiration to me and deserving of this award,&#8221; said Patel Roshan, a fourth-year dental student. &#8220;She genuinely cares for us and shows us how to provide the best patient care possible.
