Students

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

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.

As the Class of 2024 prepares to graduate and begin their careers, students who have taken on leadership roles will be leaving their own legacies behind.
 

Learners and faculty engaged in research and collaboration at this year’s Annual Association for Dental, Oral and Craniofacial Research General Session in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Thanks to a grant from the Minnesota Department of Health, two dental therapy students will be supported in their future plans to work in rural Minnesota after graduation.

Kristin Shingler, PhD, teaching assistant professor of basic sciences, knows that studying basic science can be a challenge for learners.

Members of the School of Dentistry community shared research, networked and learned at this year’s American Dental Education Association (ADEA) Annual Session.

DDS/PhD candidate Nicholas Fischer received a ADEA/Crest Oral-B Scholarships for Predoctoral Dental Students Pursuing Academic Careers.

Hosted by Continuing Dental Education and the Office of Research and Discovery, Research Day brings together experts across the discipline to discuss cutting-edge discoveries and showcase progress made at the school and beyond.
