On September 10th 2024, I had the honor of joining Dentistry Chair Dr. Paul Major and University President Bill Flanagan, along with esteemed guests, to celebrate a remarkable milestone for our community. Proud alumnus Mike Petryk and his family generously donated $10 million to support the future of dental education, resulting in the renaming of the program to the Mike Petryk School of Dentistry. This transformative gift will have a profound impact on our students, researchers, and the broader communities they serve. We invite everyone to join us in recognizing this incredible gesture and its lasting legacy for dental education at our university.
