Driven: The Campaign for the School of Dentistry
The University of Minnesota has embarked on a campaign to set a new course for students, the state, and the world. Through Driven: The University of Minnesota Campaign the School of Dentistry seeks $27 million in philanthropic support to advance our commitment to fueling student success in dentistry and improving the oral health of all Minnesotans. We are focused on achieving our key priorities of supporting students, advancing research, and enhancing our digital dentistry capabilities.
With generous support of our alumni and other community partners, we will ensure the powerful impact of the School of Dentistry for generations to come.
The following initiatives have been identified in support of the School’s fundraising goal.
