2025 Faculty Advisor of the Year Award Winner
Alejandro Gonzalez, DDS, MAGD
Texas Tech University Woody L. Hunt School of Dental Medicine
“Since our chapter’s inception, Dr. Gonzalez has been our strongest advocate, consistently going above and beyond to ensure our success. He selflessly dedicates his time to recruiting new students and inspiring them to become involved. Dr. Gonzalez attends every chapter meeting, offering invaluable guidance as we brainstorm ideas and coordinate with dentists and companies to provide enriching lectures for our members. As a passionate lifelong learner and a true dental enthusiast, Dr. Gonzalez encourages students to continually seek growth and development. He motivates students to pursue more than the minimum CE requirements and to work toward their Fellowships while still in school. No faculty member exemplifies a greater commitment to fostering a culture of education and personal development than Dr. Gonzalez.” – Theresa Martin
