Donors

Our generous donors are the foundation for all we are able to do. Your gifts fund scholarships that allow us to recruit brilliant, diverse and culturally competent candidates who in turn have greater freedom to serve in their choice of setting upon graduation. You help provide research grants that lead to cutting-edge discoveries and impact the future of oral health care. You support our faculty and students as they ask questions, seek better answers and provide the highest quality care to all patients.

Alumni

As alumni, you are part of a community of oral health professionals. Our alumni are active across the state and nationwide, leading in comprehensive care. No matter where you are, stay connected with your alma mater!

Join us for Alumni Weekend, serve on the Alumni Society board or attend an event near you. Become a mentor for students, or share your story with young people in your community and encourage them to pursue a career in oral health. There are many ways to connect!
