Graduates set a new standard for senior giving
Each school year, graduating students from the VCU School of Dentistry can choose to participate in the time-honored tradition of senior giving. Through a combination of gifts and pledges, the D.D.S. and dental hygiene Classes of 2012 raised the bar by contributing a record-setting total of $153,300.
These new dentists and dental hygienists designated their gifts and pledges in special ways to contribute to the success of future students. Dental hygiene graduates directed their funds to establish a scholarship for students in the dental hygiene program. This endowed scholarship will be the first of its kind at the VCU School of Dentistry. The D.D.S. Class of 2012 focused its giving on creating opportunities to lower the cost of procedures for patients in need. The cost for complex dental treatment can hinder patients from visiting student dentists who need the experience to ready themselves for private practice and continuing education.
