Faculty

Orthodontics residents and faculty had a strong showing at the 2023 American Association of Orthodontists Annual Session, representing the University of Minnesota with research, networking and more. 

Hosted by Community Arts @ Health Sciences, the Spring Exhibition includes artistic pieces from faculty, staff and students. Out of 53 entries, more than 20 works were accepted and put on display in the Health Sciences Education Center in mid-April. Two School of Dentistry faculty and one student were chosen as part of the exhibition.

In the past four years, Michelle Arnett, RDH, MS, assistant professor of dental hygiene, and Yvette Reibel, EdD, RDH, have mentored four BSDH learners and one MDT learner through the research process. Five of those learners have published their research—three alone in February 2023.

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.

Angela Hastings, DMD, has been appointed as Director for the Division of Community Outreach and Engagement at the School of Dentistry.

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.
