USC Friends of Dentistry is the premier support group for the USC School of Dentistry. The group provides crucial funds to all areas of the school, enabling USC to continue its legacy of excellence in dental education.

Shaping the Future:

Since 1975, Friends of Dentistry (formerly known as Dentistry Associates) has welcomed some of the most successful and dedicated friends of the school. Many are alumni, but others are simply advocates of the USC School of Dentistry. Friends of Dentistry members all share several traits: loyalty to the USC School of Dentistry; a commitment to academic achievement, patient care and research; and the desire to make a meaningful difference.

Each year we invite our most devoted alumni and friends  to partner with us in creating a bright future for the men and women who will help shape oral health  in the 21st century. Whether it’s through a generous gift to one of the  programs in the school, financial assistance to a student, endowing a professorship, improving facilities or to further the  School’s priorities, you can help continue the growth  of the USC School of Dentistry.

How Your Gift Can Help:

Many Friends of Dentistry members have a special area of interest at the USC School of Dentistry. Your gift can be designated to benefit the area you specify. Other members may prefer their gifts to be undesignated for the use of the Dean, who will direct these gifts to the various priorities of the school as they occur.

Through your one-time gift or multi-year pledge, you can help the School continue to enhance its tradition of academic excellence. This important philanthropic support enables the school to strengthen its curriculum, meet changing educational priorities and offer programs that would not exist without your support.

Membership Advantages:

While an investment in the USC School of Dentistry’s future offers its own rewards, Friends of Dentistry members receive a variety of benefits acknowledging their special relationship with the school and the university. Courtesies expand with pledge levels, but all members receive:

• Exclusive invitations to a variety of social, cultural and athletic events
