• Strategic Planning update column •
The Strategic Planning update column is a new feature in Dentalgram. This month’s column lists the School’s motto, vision, goals, and mission. A communication task force made up of representatives from students, faculty and staff is in the process of evaluating the best methods of communication within the School of Dentistry for students, faculty, and staff. The goal is to adopt a model of information dissemination for each group.
