Next month, we will begin a multi-phase renovation and upgrade process to ensure that our facilities continue to support outstanding clinical education and services.</p> <p>As part of this endeavor, we will be implementing state-of-the-art equipment upgrades and making necessary enhancements to our clinical operations.</p> <p>While we expect some disruptions during this project, please be assured that we have carefully considered ways to minimize its impact on our students, faculty, staff, and patients. For instance, a significant portion of the scheduled work will occur over the summer months and in the evenings during the semester.</p> <p>We understand the importance of keeping you informed throughout the process. To that end, we will be developing a dedicated web page and other communications to provide detailed information about the renovations and upgrades. Additionally, I would like to announce that we will be hosting multiple town halls to provide information about the planned projects and answer any questions you might have. The dates, times, audience, and location for these town halls are in the table above.</p> <p>In addition to being held in person, we will also stream the town halls and will provide a link to each town hall in a follow-up communication, so please be on the lookout for that. Please note that the work being done in the first phase will not impact residents, and we will follow up with specific information for residents in the future.</p> <p>These timely upgrades undoubtedly will elevate our School of Dentistry. We're proud of our clinical education, and these improvements will ensure we remain at the forefront of dentistry — providing the best learning environment for our students and the highest quality care for our patients.</p> <p>Thank you for your patience and support as we embark on this journey together. I look forward to the positive impact these renovations will have on our community and our mission to advance dental education, research, and service.</p> <p>Warm regards,</p> <p><strong>Mark A.
