The focus of the program was on recruiting more underrepresented minorities to dental school. The pair learned strategies to achieve this, heard lectures on related topics, and came home with a vast array of resources. They say the next step is working with Students Affairs and GSDM chapters of student groups to find ways to implement what they learned at GSDM.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is very important for our students to attend and represent the Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine at programs of this nature,\u201d said Dean Hutter. \u201cI am confident that Jenny and Fransheska did an excellent job representing us and I know they have the drive\u2014and by working with Student Affairs, the resources\u2014necessary to begin implementing their new knowledge at our School.
