As this year winds down, I am grateful to be able to take a moment and reflect on the impact of the Rinehart Foundation’s generous donors and the impact of their generosity. We awarded more than $1 million in scholarships, provided support to faculty and staff through professorships and development, and provided free care for those patients most in need. These were just a few of the ways your contributions helped our school this year.

With a new year comes a fresh start, and I am excited for what is on the horizon for the School of Dentistry. Plans are becoming reality as we move closer to breaking ground on the school’s new home for our pre-doc clinics. Chancellor Mauli Agrawal, Dean Haas and many others have worked hard to secure funding for the building, and now we have the opportunity to be a part of the process and leave our lasting legacy. I urge you to get involved.

Along with the excitement of a new building, the Rinehart Foundation is also excited to welcome Doug Anderson, our new director of development and executive director of the Rinehart Foundation. Doug has hit the ground running since he started in October. We look forward to his leadership and expertise as we continue to grow alongside the School of Dentistry.

Your commitment to the school does not go unnoticed, and we hope that as you look through these pages and see the impact of your gifts, you will take great pride in knowing you have made a difference.

Thank you for the irreplaceable role you play in making the School of Dentistry the remarkable institution that it is.
