Kenneally is a UNE Trustee and alumnus as well as the son of a former faculty member and administrator.

Many of UNE’s CDM faculty members are fellows of the ICD, including Dean Jon Ryder, D.D.S., M.S., and Executive Associate Dean James Koelbl, D.D.S., M.S., M.J., as well as Associate Clinical Professor Jay Beauchemin, D.D.S., M.S.; Assistant Clinical Professor Barry Saltz, D.D.S.; Associate Clinical Professor Jeffrey Doss, D.D.S; Assistant Clinical Professor David Moyer, D.D.S., M.D., FACS; and Associate Clinical Professor Lionel Vachon, D.D.S.

Ryder and faculty members Adepitan Owosho, B.Ch.D., F.A.A.O.M., Tessie Stansbury, D.M.D., and Namita Khandelwal, B.D.S., M.S., worked with Kenneally to create an outstanding continuing education program to be held in conjunction with the ICD’s Spring Meeting in Portland. This CE program was open to all dentists. Topics included:

  • “Snow and Fire” Red and White Lesions of the Oral Cavity
