For those who may remember Olguita Luaces, is now a dentist, presently teaching dentistry at the University of Florida in Gainesville.

Living out her Salesian charism to the fullest, Olguita finds the time and dedication to volunteer as well.

She contributes pro bono (free) dental work in poor areas of the US and by traveling to developing nations.

Olguita recently won the presitigious UF Superior Accomplishment Award presented to her by UF President, Ben Sasse.

Despite her ongoing commitment to her community and beyond, Olguita was completely surprised by this accolade.
