| You Are The Future Of Dentistry
Minnesota needs more dentists who reflect the current and future of our state’s demography. As our state’s Asian, Latino, and African immigrant communities grow, we need more dentists who reflect our state’s families. African American, American Indian, Latino and rural communities also need dentists who share their cultural, religious, and family values. Together we can change the face of dentistry in Minnesota.
We are looking for students who have grown up in underserved rural and minority communities, those from economically challenged families, and those who are first in their families to have attended college, to join us.
You are needed. This summer program will be an exciting adventure and will provide you with a look at what your future holds.
Apply today to participate in this free, all expense paid experience. The event will be held at the University of Minnesota Dental School and Comstock Hall from Monday, July 21 through Friday, July 25, 2008.
