Summary

Industry:  Membership Organizations

Description
Omicron Kappa Upsilon (OKU), the national dental honor society, was established by Dean G.V. Black at Northwestern University School of Dentistry in 1914, During its 82 year history, OKU has become the Phi Beta Kappa of dentistry, with over 55 chapters located in dental schools throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada.

The purpose of OKU is to recognize and promote scholarship and character in the profession of dentistry. Annually, each chapter elects no more than 12 percent of its school's graduating class to membership. Selection is based not only on scholarship, but also on demonstrated exemplary traits of character and potential qualities of future professional growth and attainments.

Savor your success in being accepted into dental school and proceed with the knowledge that you follow in the footsteps of some of the finest people in the world who not only are excellent dental practitioners, but also caring and productive members of society.

The faculty members of OKU at your school are very interested in each and every one of you, professionally and personally. We encourage you to participate fully in your curriculum and seek additional opportunities for patient care and research. Seek excellence within yourself. Your optimal performance is that which is the best you can do. OKU recognizes that successful dentists are generally well rounded individuals. Be supportive of your families while they are helping you obtain your dental education and pursue your outside interests while you are in school.

Whether or not you are selected for OKU four years from now, we want each of you to participate in your studies fully and with the understanding that you and your patients will ultimately reap the rewards.
