When the CBS EVENING NEWS WITH KATIE COURIC debuted on September 5, 2006, Couric became the ﬁrst female solo anchor of a weekday network evening news broadcast. She has won six Emmy Awards, the Society of Professional Journalists’ Sigma Delta Chi Award, a National Headliner Award, UNICEF’s Danny Kaye Humanitarian Award, among many others. During the last 3 years, Couric has reported on and anchored newscasts and broadcasts for some of the biggest domestic and international stories and has conducted numerous exclusive newsmaker interviews including the historic 2008 Presidential election. Couric led CBS’s critically acclaimed coverage, anchoring the CBS Evening News and live primetime coverage from the Iowa Caucuses and the New Hampshire and Ohio primaries, as well as Super Tuesday and other primary nights from CBS studios in New York. Couric also conducted two special series of in-depth and incisive interviews for the CBS Evening News series “Primary Questions” and “Presidential Questions” where she asked presidential candidates the same set of questions about their politics and character which elicited more than stump speech responses. During the campaign Couric launched a series of webcasts giving viewers live, exclusive Web coverage of the election and the historic beginnings of Obama’s presidency. She conducted nightly webcasts from the Democratic and Republican National Conventions, the Presidential and Vice Presidential debates, election night, inauguration night and President Obama’s 100th day in ofﬁce. Couric has covered most major breaking news events over the past 15 years including the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center; the Columbine tragedy; six Olympic Games, including the 1996 Atlanta Olympic bombing; the funeral of Princess Diana; the Oklahoma City bombing; the Timothy McVeigh execution and the Clarence Thomas conﬁrmation hearings. Additionally, Couric has interviewed an extraordinarily diverse collection of newsmakers, from presidents and prime ministers to industry leaders and cultural icons. In March 2000, Couric launched the National Colorectal Cancer Research Alliance in association with the Entertainment Industry Foundation and Lilly Tartikoff, to fund new medical research in colorectal cancer and to conduct educational programs encouraging the prevention and early detection of the disease through proper screening. Following Couric’s on-air colonoscopy in 2000, a scientiﬁcally documented 20% increase was noted in the number of colonoscopies performed across the country. Researchers at the University of Michigan dubbed this “The Couric Effect.” In May 2008, Couric and her ABC News and NBC News counterparts, Charles Gibson and Brian Williams announced Stand Up To Cancer, an initiative among the three network news broadcasts to accelerate ground-breaking cancer research. The Greater New York Dental Meeting wishes to express sincere appreciation to Henry Schein® for sponsoring this program. 81 MONDAY NOVEMBER 30
