Dean's Club

The UW School of Dentistry Dean’s Club was established in 1983 with a core mission to maintain and enhance the School’s international reputation for excellence in dental education.

Annual donors of $1,000 or more to any fund within the School of Dentistry during the academic year (July 1,to June 30) are recognized as members of The Dean’s Club. Recognition is bestowed on alumni who received their first UW Dentistry degree in the past five years, with gifts of $250 or more.

Dean’s Club members view their support as an investment in the future of the profession by ensuring a strong center for dental education, research, and community service at the University of Washington.

The School of Dentistry held its 23rd Annual Dean's Club Dinner on Saturday, May 5, 2007 at the Grand Hyatt in Seattle. Dr. Rick Crinzi received the 2007 Distinguished Alumnus Award and Dr. Burt Goodman received the 2007 Dean's Club Honorary Lifetime Member Award. This memorable event drew more than 250 guests, including students from the Class of 2007 and a "Who's Who" in dentistry. Dr. David Minahan, President of the Dean's Club, was the master of ceremonies for the event. Photos from the evening are provided for your viewing pleasure.
