The Office of Student Affairs coordinates the following programs:
The School of Dentistry hosts a two-day orientation program with a goal of providing new students essential information to help support a successful transition to Dental School. During Orientation, students will meet with the School of Dentistry dean and faculty, talk with continuing students about their academic experiences, learn about important policies and resources, and pickup items needed for the start of the program.
Designed through a unique collaboration with the Wisconsin Dental Association and Pierre Fauchard Academy, the School of Dentistry鈥檚 Mentorship Program is the template for similar programs nationwide. Dentists throughout Wisconsin serve as mentors and advisers to dental students, forming professional relationships and friendships that last a lifetime.
The White Coat Ceremony serves as your official welcome into the study of clinical dentistry by members of the dental profession. At the ceremony, you will receive a ceremonial white coat and swear an oath in the presence of family and friends of your intentions and willingness to assume the responsibilities and obligations of the practice of dentistry. This ceremony is managed by the Office of Student Affairs and Office of Admissions.
The Senior Awards Program recognizes academic, clinical and leadership achievements of graduating seniors.
The Hooding Ceremony confers the title of doctor. After this ceremony, you can officially use the prefix of "Dr."
These programs are managed by the offices of the Dean, Student Affairs, Alumni Relations and many other members of the Dental School community.
