Where Do We Go From Here?

"Throughout Penn, our passionate, dedicated students, faculty, staff, and alumni represent our strength and our purpose. The campaign upon which the University now embarks, is a shared enterprise, one in which our great Dental School plays a vital role. As each school builds endowment for classrooms and laboratories, for the professorships and scholarships that will attract the best faculty and students, we strengthen the amazing institution of which we are all a part."

—President Amy Gutmann, University of Pennsylvania

How do you envision the future of dental medicine?

Where do you foresee the profession going—and who is leading the way?

At Penn Dental Medicine, we see ourselves in the vanguard. We develop passionate visionaries, scientific advances, and proven practices. We impart a spirit of service and community care that our graduates carry around the world. We change people's lives.

Our challenge? To not only stay abreast of this shifting field, but stay ahead of it. For that, we must recruit and retain the most talented faculty and students and provide a model environment for research, learning, and clinical practice. This will solidify our historic role as one of the world's premier dental science institutions.

Of course, we won't get there alone. Nor would we want to. That's not what leadership is about.

So we look to our distinguished alumni and friends who share our vision. Help us bring it to fruition—and make it real for generations to come.

With your investment in Penn Dental Medicine, we can continue leading the profession—together.
