FACULTY AND STAFF at the School of Dentistry are proud of the many families who have had multiple generations begin their dental careers at UMKC. These families are a part of our school's rich history - with roots dating back to 1881 - and have greatly contributed to our success. Here are the legacy students in the DDS Class of 2028.
