Dean's Messages

These headwinds are an opportunity for us to grow.

Our presence and leadership is an essential way for the School of Dentistry to influence the oral health of the nation.

December is an opportunity to reflect on the past as we plan for the new year.  As I reflect, I am extremely appreciative of the school’s Color Group leaders and the faculty that work in our Color Groups.

One of our strategic priorities over the past few years has been to increase our research presence through grants and publications. 

As the School of Dentistry continues to grow in innovation, scholarship, teaching and learning, and patient care, our points of pride also expand. 

Data-driven solutions are the best way for the School of Dentistry to continue to grow and excel as a vital resource for the people of Minnesota and beyond.

One of the most important aspects of our scholarly activity and research is reaching the finish line of presenting our findings in peer-reviewed journals.
