Dorothy Tu, M.H.A., a UCLA alumna and experienced healthcare executive in the University of California system, has joined the UCLA School of Dentistry as its first associate dean of finance and administration. Her appointment commenced on Sept. 1.

With a combined 82-year history at the School of Dentistry, you can imagine all of the challenges and changes seen by Dr. Carol Bibb and Ms. Francesca Moore over the decades. Two very different chance encounters led to their lifelong and fulfilling careers here in Westwood.

“IT’S MY CO-WORKERS WHO MAKE IT EASY to come to work every day. We’re a team. We put our heads down and get things done,” said Francesa Moore. Fran will celebrate her 30-year work anniversary in January 2020. When asked about retirement, she laughed and said, “I’m not quite ready yet.”
