When Sarita Arteaga, UConn School of Dental Medicine associate dean for students, earned her DMD at the School in 1990, she was the only person of color out of the 38 members in her class.
Today, the School of Dental Medicine actively works to expand the diversity of both the school and the profession, including through developing a national mentoring network to support a diverse dental, oral, and craniofacial workforce.
