A Message from the President

Welcome to the website for the Supreme Chapter of Omicron Kappa Upsilon, the National Dental Honor Society!

Every year we induct new alumni members from dental schools around the country, nominated from among their peers by their faculty, in recognition of their excellence and exemplary leadership in academics, professionalism, and character. Faculty are elected by their peers to membership in OKU in recognition of their demonstration of the ideals of OKU. Our organization has a rich history; our members have led the dental profession as oral healthcare providers in the community, in dental academia, in research institutions and industry, and in organized dentistry. They have impacted their communities through continued dedication to excellence and service. Together we are a community of clinicians and scholars who are connected by our shared commitment to the values of OKU.

Congratulations to our new members from the class of 2025, who recently graduated from dental school and have entered the dental profession! We look forward to your continued engagement and wish you the best of success in the future.

Sincerely,

Carol Anne Murdoch-Kinch, DDS, PhD

President, Supreme Chapter
