2024 Faculty Advisor of the Year Award Winner

Sophia Khan, DDS, MS

Dr. Sophia Khan

“Dr. Khan’s mentoring goes beyond the classroom when she resurrected the student chapter at the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine. It’s been 2.5 years, and she has garnered support and enthusiasm not only for the area of general dentistry but also for the value of belonging to a national organization. With her full-time commitment to the dental school as an associate professor and the director of student affairs, a single mother of two children, president of the Colorado AGD and student chapter faculty advisor, she makes it a point to stay engaged with her students. She keeps us on task and gives us autonomy to make the club our own. Her energy is infectious and pushes us to do more and be more.” – Elle Bertuccelli and Devan Cruz
