Why AO?
AO creates connections that last a lifetime.
Recently, Sharon Perlmutter attended her godson’s wedding in Chicago, where AO connections were everywhere. The groom’s mother and Sharon met as students through AO and have remained close friends ever since. The groom’s parents met through AO connections, and the bride is the daughter of an AO member from California.
While in Chicago, Sharon also met with Jewish dental students eager to restart an AO chapter at the University of Illinois Chicago. They are seeking community, mentorship, support, and a safe space—and AO will be there for them.
Friendships. Mentorship. Professional connections. Community.
That's Why AO.
