Night to Shine, a prom experience for young people 14 and older with special needs, is one of many community events dental students get involved in. For this year’s Kansas City event, about 25 UMKC School of Dentistry students volunteered through their service group, Students Take Action. Nationally, it was the fifth annual Night to Shine, in which more than 650 churches and 200,000 volunteers celebrated with 100,000 honored guests.
