Dean's Messages

On an individual and personal level, this is the time of year when people begin to reflect on New Year's resolutions. As the School of Dentistry, it is important for us to similarly reflect, and as a part of that reflection, we recenter ourselves around our mission and core values. 

One of the pleasures I have as Dean is to shine light on the many wonderful achievements of our faculty, staff and learners.

Over the past few years, several School of Dentistry faculty have collaborated to increase the footprint of digital technologies

We move forward with hope and conviction.  

This is an excellent example of how we are growing.

Read Dean Mays's remarks to the graduates.

The School of Dentistry has 131 dedicated adjuncts who provide valuable instruction throughout our curriculum. They contribute to our advanced education, dental hygiene, dental therapy and DDS programs.

At the end of our summer donor event last July, I was approached by a donor who took the opportunity to remind me of something; it was a good reminder. The donor was Dr. Anna Hampel.

Let’s all do our part to create a clinical environment that is person-centered for all. 

This year provides us with a fresh opportunity to continue doing exciting things.
