Organizations & Committees
Omicron Kappa Upsilon
Omicron Kappa Upsilon (OKU), is a national dental honor society that was established in 1914 “to encourage and develop a spirit of emulation among students in dentistry, and to recognize in an appropriate manner those who shall distinguish themselves by a high grade of scholarship”. There are component chapters in every dental school in the U.S., and it is expected that the WLHSDM will form a chapter prior to the graduation of its inaugural class. New student inductees are commonly selected from among the top 8%-12% academically ranked students in each class.
