The graduating class is invited to attend Thanks A Bunch Brunch during graduation weekend to thank their families and loved ones for their support during dental school. Graduates present their family members and friends with the dental school's own "Ph.T." (Putting Him/Her/Them Through) certificates while the group practice leader/Dental Hygiene program director reads aloud the note of thanks written by each student.

Students in the DDS/IDS/DH 2026 class should watch their u.pacific.edu account regarding details on how to RSVP during the third week of April. Please bring as many family members and friends as you would like. Solo class of 2026 attendees without guests will not be able to register due to this event being intended for the purpose of thanking your family and friends for their support.

The deadline to RSVP is Friday, May 29.  

Tickets for guests of graduates are:

• adults over 12, $85.00;
• ages 3-12, $25.00;
• under 3 yrs. old, free;
• The cost of the ticket is a small fraction of the total per person cost covered by Dugoni School.
