Congratulations to the 183 newest alumni of the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry!
 

Larry Wolff, MS, PhD, DDS ’78, professor of periodontology, has been part of the University of Minnesota for over four decades–and he’s spent that time supporting learners from their first day to the day they walk across the stage at graduation.

Emily Vu, BSDH ’24, is passionate about dental hygiene and excited to graduate and make a difference in the oral health field. She’s also a proud Asian-American student. In honor of Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we spoke with Vu about her decision to pursue dental hygiene and what it means to her to be an Asian-American student and clinician. 

What do you want to be when you grow up? It is a big question that we have all encountered  countless times throughout our childhood and adolescence. Some seem to have an answer to this  question right away. For many others, answering this question is a daunting and impossible task.

Stephen Shuman, DDS, MS, FGSA, professor, director of the Division of Hospital and Special Care Dentistry and director of the Oral Health Services for Older Adults Program in the School of Dentistry, was the 2024 Guest of Honor for the Minneapolis District Dental Society (MDDS) on April 15.

Yvette Reibel, EdD, LDH, assistant professor of dental hygiene, received an Institute of Health Community Service Grant through the American Dental Hygienists Association for her work with adopted children and those in foster care.
