A new initiative that includes members of the Offices of Admission and Alumni Relations, as well as the Division of Community Outreach & Engagement, has been making strides in connecting the dentistry community statewide, especially in rural and underserved areas.

Everyone in the School of Dentistry has a story about their decision to embark on a career in this field, and each one has a similar moment of truth — applying to dental school and then waiting (and waiting!) to be accepted.
