“The dental faculty were instrumental in teaching the latest technologies and techniques and demanding excellence every step of the way.”

This sentiment from Gordon Bell, DDS '89, explains his desire to invest in faculty excellence at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry (UMSOD) through the recently announced Gordon M. Bell, DDS, and Holly G. Bell, CRNP, Endowed Professorship, the fifth endowed professorship at UMSOD.

Citing the critical role faculty mentors played in his clinical education, Bell has ensured the same experience for future generations of oral health professionals.

“Endowed professorships are critical for recruiting and retaining preeminent faculty and for fostering excellence in education, research, clinical care, and service,” said UMSOD Dean Mark A. Reynolds, DDS.
