The university was granted approval by its board of trustees in September to create the Bitonte College of Dentistry, which would be the state’s third dental school. The university received a $10 million donation from two local physicians to establish the dental school in October. 

The HHS award will go toward equipment and construction, according to a news release from the university.

At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place November 12–14 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
