College of Dentistry and Dental Clinics

Dean's Message

I am continually amazed by the impact our college has. Our students, many of whom will practice dentistry in Iowa, our alumni who are transforming the lives of countless patients and the dental profession, our dedicated faculty and staff who serve our students and patients, and our groundbreaking research that is revolutionizing dentistry—all contribute to our success. I also deeply appreciate the everyday acts of kindness within our collegiate community. Your actions make a significant difference in the lives of many. Know that I, along with many others, see and appreciate your efforts. Please take a moment to express your gratitude and share how you have been impacted by fellow students, colleagues, faculty, staff, residents, and alumni. Recognizing others can have a profound impact, especially when it is easy to forget how important you are. Cheers! ~Clark Stanford
