At the University of Michigan School of Dentistry, we proudly uphold a tradition of unparalleled excellence in dental education, research, patient care, and community service. Our school, almost 150 years old, is ranked among the top in the world and is where diverse talents converge to solve the biggest challenges in oral health, shape the future of the profession, and ensure healthier lives for all.
Oral health is a window to overall well-being and a critical component of a healthy society. Yet, millions both domestically and globally lack access to basic dental care, suffering from diseases that are entirely preventable. As we look towards the future, it is not just about filling cavities – it's about filling gaps in healthcare, technology, education, and access. The School of Dentistry's vital mission to advance oral health across all demographics has never been more pressing or timely.
Our vision is to be a beacon of innovation and inclusivity, fostering groundbreaking research and delivering top-tier dental education that rigidly adheres to the standards of excellence expected of the leaders and best. We strive to train dental professionals who not only possess exceptional skills but are also compassionate caregivers who understand the real-world implications of their work.
The Look to Michigan campaign will formally kick-off at the School of Dentistry in the spring of 2025, coinciding with the school’s 150th anniversary. Check back in the coming weeks as we share more details of the campaign and our giving priorities. You can always see giving opportunities at the School of Dentistry at Leaders & Best giving site.
