Dental Hygiene Alumni Association

Since its inception in 1953, numerous students have graduated from the UNC Adams School of Dentistry Dental Hygiene Program, going on to become dental hygienists, dental hygiene educators, administrators and more.

The program’s alumni represent the best of dental hygiene and are its greatest resource for fostering the future growth and development of our profession. 

Through participation in the Dental Hygiene Alumni Association, alumni can support the dental hygiene program and share in a commitment to maintain the integrity of dental hygiene. 

Support Dental Hygiene Programs

The dental hygiene programs at the Adams School of Dentistry are proud to support the school’s mission. In order to continue being a leading dental hygiene program, we depend on the generous contributions of our alumni and friends. 

Contributions are also welcome to the funds which provide scholarship money to dental hygiene students. Each of these scholarships was established through the generosity of private donors and our hygiene students continue to benefit today. The department and our students are grateful for the continued generosity of our friends and alumni, and for the investment each donor makes to the future of dental hygiene. 

To discuss your giving options or for more information about charitable giving, contact the Dental Hygiene team or Ms. Sarah Huppert, (919) 537-3259.
