2022-23 ADEA ADCFP Fellows

The American Dental Education Association (ADEA) Academic Dental Careers Fellowship Program (ADCFP) provides students with an opportunity to glean further insight into the life of an academician. Student fellows partner with an individual faculty mentor and participate in teaching and research projects, conduct interviews with faculty members, and present their experiences through a portfolio and poster presentation.

2022-23 Peer Mentors

The peer mentorship program aims to promote students' social and academic integration and cultivate a sense of inclusiveness and belonging in the student community. Peer mentors take responsibility for organizing social activities throughout the academic year and share insights with students in their junior years to help facilitate their success.

The Faculty thanks each of the 2022-23 peer mentors for your enthusiasm, collaboration, and leadership!
