The
School of Dentistry Office for Research and Graduate Studies was founded in
1998. The mission of this office is "to promote academic excellence,
facilitate faculty/student development, and advance integrative/interdisciplinary
interactions within the university, surrounding academic institutions,
and the community.
Emphasis is placed on those initiatives that
establish a unique niche and/or competitive advantage. These
goals will be accomplished while maintaining cost/operational efficiencies
and congruence with the institutional and university mission".
This new emphasis represents a significant departure from past
history.
The School of Dentistry, historically recognized as an excellent clinical
institution, is seeking to add a nationally/internationally
recognized academic and scholarly component to its profile.
The comprehensive
plan for this expansion and growth was derived from many
different School of Dentistry and university documents/areas including:
- School of Dentistry
Strategic Plan
- School of Dentistry Promotion and Tenure Document
- Sabbatical
Policy
- School of Dentistry Faculty Development Plan
