Thank you!

We genuinely appreciate your thoughtful support of the 3rd Annual Dean’s Scholarship Gala. Your thoughtful contribution will allow us to continue to provide significant student scholarship assistance through the Dean’s Scholarship Award program for many years to come. In effect, your gift to the Gala will help our dental students succeed in dental school and the communities they serve after dental school.

Thank you once again for your support of the School and our dental students!
