Message from the Dean
Alumni and friends,
I will address you a number of times in this issue of our magazine, so I will be sure to keep this brief.
I am sure you have often heard it said, but there is no truer thing to say: this is the beginning of an
incredibly exciting time at our great UNC School of Dentistry. The University has kicked off the largest
campaign in its history, and the second largest of any public university in the southeast. And, almost
simultaneously, we have passed our Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) assessment, and
De Rossi are beginning aggressive work on our strategic plan.
This is a pivotal time for our school. As I mentioned in my first letter to you in this magazine, my
vision for this school is not to maintain its standing, but to move beyond excellence. Our school’s
vision is to become the global model for oral health education, in care and discovery. This is the
beginning of both of those endeavors. The time is now for us to choose to forge our own path, one
that allows us to achieve our vision. That vision is bold, and it is something we cannot achieve alone.
As such, our entire school will be relying on you along the way. We will need your advice, your
opinions, your ideas and your continued support. Our school community will sometimes need
your hand to lift us up, your words to encourage us and your shoulders to stand on. It is only with
your help and enthusiasm that we will be able to achieve our mission of transforming dentistry for
better health.
Perhaps it is fitting, then, that this issue of the North Carolina Dental Review pay tribute to so many
of you in its pages. Included in what follows are celebrations of your class reunions, updates on your
lives in alumni notes and a tribute to your generosity in our honor roll of donors. There are not words
to adequately describe how appreciative we are of your financial contributions, and it is difficult to
articulate how reliant on that funding we are as a school. Your monetary gifts are a large reason we are
able to continue being excellent, and that we are able to dream beyond that. “Thank you” seems to
fall short of the level of our gratitude, so know that we are thankful beyond what those words convey.
I am grateful to be on this journey with each of you. Thank you for joining us as we move beyond
excellence.
Sincerely,
Scott S. De Rossi, DMD, MBA
Dean, UNC School of Dentistry

Dear Friends,
Many times, when universities and schools embark on capital and comprehensive

For all that’s now. OUR PURPOSE
The UNC School of Dentistry is an internationally recognized leader in oral health education,
patient care and medical research. We take pride in preparing the next generation of dental
professionals, and ultimately ensuring the people of North Carolina receive quality care. We
offer opportunities for students to explore all aspects of oral health and our graduates go on
to become exceptional leaders in all areas of the field. Since 1950, we’ve been providing the
highest caliber of education and clinical care to North Carolina and the world.
OUR PROMISE
For all that’s new.
Today’s oral health practitioners are often the front line of defense in recognizing an array of
health concerns and conditions. At the UNC School of Dentistry, we will educate tomorrow’s
oral health leaders, enabling them to adapt to their patients’ evolving needs, ensuring the
field of dentistry meets all future challenges. We will improve the health of our communities
and embody Carolina’s public mission to advance the greater good.
OUR PRIORITIES
PUTTING OUR PEOPLE FIRST: Above all else, we are committed to our people. Our
For all that’s next. emphasis on fostering exceptional teaching and learning is essential to the future of the
school. Supporting faculty endowments and research dollars will help us recruit and retain
the teaching staff. Likewise, to attract the best students, we must maintain affordability and
access through scholarships and aid.
PROVIDING SERVICE TO OUR STATE: Our alumni live and work in 96 of North Carolina’s 100
counties. Nearly 80 percent of graduates stay in-state to practice. Our dedication is clear.
Whether in local communities or around the world, we aim to bring oral health care to those
who need it most, and in turn expose our students to the diversity of patient care. To continue
