Our Priorities

The UNC Adams School of Dentistry launched its strategic plan, Moving Beyond Excellence, on July 28, 2017. The plan will direct the efforts of the school for a four-year period: 2017-2021.

The focus of the strategic plan is on three key areas: the school’s people and culture; the school’s curriculum and operations; and the school’s ability to invent and ideate. More specifically, the priorities are:

  • Retain and recruit the very best people in a collaborative environment
  • Revolutionize curriculum and operations
  • Embrace an entrepreneurial mindset
