Carolina Memories

Nada Salem (UNC School of Dentistry, Class of 2019) remembers Yusor Abu-Salha. Picture: A picture of Nada Salem (Left) and Yusor Abu-Salha (Right). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In February 2015, the UNC School of Dentistry lost two of its own: Deah Barakat, a member of DDS 2017, and Yusor Abu-Salha, a member of then-incoming DDS 2019. As a way to remember and honor Deah and Yusor’s lives and love of serving their community, that fall the student body decided to dedicate a day to these same activities in the local Triangle area. The day is named Directing Efforts And Honoring Deah And Yusor — or DEAH DAY for short. It’s designed to be a day where DDS, dental hygiene and dental assisting students go out into the local community and spend time giving back in honor of those the school lost.
