Inspired by the call to duty and honoring their ancestors and fellow community members, four School of Dentistry learners have dedicated themselves to serving their country while improving oral health care.
Students and staff attended the Student National Dentist Association conference this July in New Orleans, gaining connections and insights about diversity, dentistry and more.
The School of Dentistry welcomed 134 incoming learners into the DDS Class of 2027, the Dental Therapy Class of 2026 and the Dental Hygiene Class of 2025.
For Archita Jain, DDS ’24, disability and anti-ableism have been important topics from a young age. Those experiences shaped who she is and her career path—and they led her to an intensive fellowship during dental school.
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.
Kim Mansky, PhD, received a $650,760 grant from the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research to implement the Minnesota Craniofacial and Oral Health Research Experience (MnCORE).
