When Janelle Jehn, BSDT ’13, ADT ’16, provided the keynote address for this year’s White Coat Ceremony, it marked a milestone for her and for the program. She became the first dental therapist to provide the address.
Jacob Wolf, DDS ’22, never expected to be back in his hometown of Fargo, North Dakota after graduation—but after a year of practice, he couldn’t be happier with his choice.
Monica Anderson, DDS ’88, has maintained many careers since her graduation from the School of Dentistry 35 years ago. She brought all those experiences with her to provide wisdom and guidance as the 2023 commencement speaker.
The ADA 10 under 10 recognizes “10 amazing dentists who graduated from a dental school accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation less than 10 years ago,” according to the ADA’s website.
One of the ways Bengson shows his gratitude for the School of Dentistry is participating in the cap and gown fund, through which alumni and donors sponsor the cost of graduation regalia for all graduates. Bengson believes it’s important to pay it forward and provide inspiration for students who are just getting started.
Thank you to each alumnus for their gift of time this year, sharing their experiences, knowledge, and supporting our students' continued development into oral health professionals. Your contributions make the School of Dentistry shine a little brighter.
