As an incoming DDS student, you have an opportunity to sign up for the DDS New Student Mentor Program. This program matches interested incoming dental students with a mentor group made up of current D1 students. Your mentor group can smooth your transition into dental school and help you achieve academic and personal success during your four years in the DDS program.
If you would like to sign up for the Mentor Program, please complete a Mentor Request Form as soon as possible. The initial deadline is Friday, January 31, 2025. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis after that point. Most incoming students will receive their mentor group information by February 25, 2025. You are expected to attend the Mentor Kick-Off Webinar on Wednesday, February 26, 2025 @ 7:15 – 8:00pm CST via Zoom: https://umn-private.zoom.us/my/susanwold
