Alumni Association
The Alumni Association of the University of Maryland School of Dentistry represents more than 8,000 graduates. Alumni representatives from the Doctor of Dental Surgery, Dental Hygiene, Advanced Dental Education, and graduate programs are recruited to serve on the Alumni Association Board of Directors and committees.
The Alumni Association fosters and promotes the dental school and its programs. To accomplish this goal, the association seeks to:
- Connect and engage alumni with their alma mater,
- Support, promote, and recognize the School of Dentistry and its alumni,
- Organize alumni gatherings where longtime friendships may be renewed and new friendships made,
- Inspire alumni to support the needs of the school through their time and philanthropy,
- Encourage alumni participation in school- and Alumni-Association-sponsored activities including continuing education offerings,
- Maintain the high standards and traditions of the world’s first dental college.
The annual meeting of the Alumni Association is held during Alumni Weekend. At this gathering, officers and members are elected to the Board of Directors.
The Alumni Association works closely with the school’s Office of Institutional Advancement to plan activities across the country for alumni and friends. Local events allow alumni and friends the opportunity to interact with students and faculty.
If you are interested in becoming involved with the Alumni Association and its activities, please contact the Office of Institutional Advancement at 410-706-7146 or dentaladvancement@umaryland.edu.
