ON THE COVER: New faculty recruits (left to right) Betty Harokopakis-Hajishengallis, DDS, MSc, PhD, Chief of the Division of Pediatric and Associate of Pediatric Dentistry; Anh Le, DDS, PhD, Chair and Norman Vine Endowed Professor of Oral Rehabilitation in the Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery/ Pharmacology; and George Hajishengallis, DDS, PhD, Professor, Department of Microbiology. A Message from the office of the dean

his is a time of unprecedented growth and development at Penn as a whole and Penn Dental Medicine in particular, thanks mainly to the tremendous support and engagement of devoted alumni and friends. In December, the University celebrates the official close of its seven-year, T $3.5 billion Making History Campaign — a University-wide goal that has been exceeded. Penn Dental Medicine has a $37 million goal as part of this Campaign, and as we draw to a close, I am confident we will that mark. On behalf of our current and future students, I thank you and all our supporters for your commitment to this great institution. In this issue of the Journal, we are pleased to present our fiscal year 2011-2012 honor roll of contributors.

Your support is helping to move the School forward on varied fronts to ensure ongoing leadership in academics, clinical care, and research and scholarship. Among recent steps has been the successful faculty recruitment of accomplished researchers and clinicians in the areas of microbiology, oral surgery, and pediatric dentistry (see story, page 2). Advancing patient care and educational resources will be the new Syngcuk Kim Endodontic Clinic, slated to open early in the New Year. This clinic is the first key project of our 10-year Master Plan for facilities improvements, and fundraising is underway for our next — a new Preclinical Lab and Training Center (see story, page 8) with the technology to teach today’s generation of students.

Our goal is to continue to attract tomorrow’s leaders in all fields of dental medicine and oral health care. We welcomed another outstanding group of students with the Class of 2016, and as a guide to our freshmen, in this issue, we spotlight alumni who have pursued the academic path (see story, page 10). Through teaching, administrative leadership, and research, they are developing the next generation of dentists and advancing the science and practice of dentistry.

As a school, our mission is the same; and with a shared commitment, we can continue to shape the future of dental education and care. The accomplishments of the Making History Campaign are to be celebrated indeed, but we need to continue moving forward and I ask you to build on this momentum and continue to support our students, enhance our facilities, and strengthen our faculty and research to better serve our community. Thank you for your support.

For predoctoral students, the School’s long-standing Summer Research Program partners students with faculty members on investigations affecting today’s dental practice, giving students hands-on research experience and the opportunity to present their findings. The competitive Degree Honors Program allows students to participate in advanced clinical, research, or community health honors experiences that can be highly relevant to academic career settings. And through dual-degree programs, qualified dental students may pair their dental degrees with a master’s degree in Bioethics, Business Administration, Public Health, Bioengineering, or Higher Education, drawing on the extraordinary resources of other schools within Penn. The three alumni profiled here — all at very different stages of very distinctive academic careers — have something in common: They all took advantage of the School’s flexible, multidisciplinary offerings to position themselves for success in the academic world .

28 philanthropy: highlights Philanthropy honor roll, july 2011— june 2012

Thank You!

ON THE PAGES THAT FOLLOW are the donors for the 2011-2012 fiscal year. On behalf of Penn Dental Medicine, I would like to convey our thanks for your continued support of our mission. Many of the donors listed are Annual Fund contributors. I cannot overstate how critical the Annual Fund is to the School and how every contribution makes a difference. The Annual Fund supports priorities of the School unmet by tuition: digital radiography; updates to student spaces; support for student clubs; some scholarship funding; seed research funding; and so much more.

Penn Dental Medicine is tasked with seeing to the superior education of our students, keeping in the forefront of research, and serving the community — priorities that could not be accomplished without our dedicated faculty, administration, and yes, you the donor. The graphs within this Honor Roll section give a clear indication of how your funds are utilized.

Charitable giving to the School fits into several well-defined categories. As you can clearly see, much of the funding is focused on facility renovations, but just as important, as noted above, are the Unrestricted or Annual Fund dollars. They fund smaller initiatives that are not huge changes but have huge impact. I also find it interesting and important to note that it is alumni who overwhelm - ingly support the School. We have many great corporate and foundation partners, but they do not do half of what our individual donors do in support of our mission.

As we close the University’s Making History Campaign on December 31, 2012, Penn Dental Medicine is excited to celebrate our successes and looks forward to our next steps. We need you to help Shape the Future of Care and add your name to the donor pool for exciting new projects, like the Preclinical Lab and Training Center, the Lower Concourse Clinic, and the Library Study Rooms.

Thank you for your continued support and engagement. Maren Gaughan Associate Dean for Development and Alumni Relations
