In recognition of the professional contributions of the late Dr. Dale Brookins Wade ’62 and his father, Robert, to the field of orthodontics, The Ohio State University dedicated the Wade Orthodontic Education Center. More than 350 orthodontists
were influenced by
Dale and his father during
their combined 75 years of
teaching at OSU. Until Dale’s
untimely death in 1998, there
had never been a graduate of
OSU’s orthodontic program
who had not been taught by a Housed in the College of Dentistry on the main campus of OSU in Columbus, the center was conceived and planned by the Orthodontic Alumni Foundation and features a library/ reading room, a 50-person conference space with state-of-the-art media capability, a catering kitchen and reception desk. A dedicatory wall highlights portraits of Dale and Robert Wade. For his distinguished service to the specialty of orthodontics, Dale Wade also received numerous awards posthumously, including the James E. Brophy Distinguished Service Award and the Albert H. Ketchum Memorial Award, the two highest honors in orthodontics, and the Ohio Dental Association’s Achievement Award. His wife, Jan Schwiebert Wade ’62, accepted the awards. During his career, Dale Wade served as chair of the Foundation for Orthodontic Research, and as a past president of The American Board of Orthodontics, the Great Lakes Association of Orthodontics, the OSU Orthodontic Alumni Foundation and the Columbus Dental Society. In addition, Wade served on the editorial board of the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, and was a Fellow of the International College of Dentists, the Pierre Fauchard Academy and the American College of Dentists. Earlier this year, the first
Dale B. Wade Award for Clinical
Excellence was awarded
during the opening ceremonies
of the American Association
of Orthodontics. The
award will be given annually
to the candidate who achieves
excellence during the Phase III
Clinical Exam.
