Dentistry, dental hygiene students celebrate start of new journey

A wide smile crossed the face of Gurpreet Kaur as she held her two-year-old son, Azaad, after the Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry and School of Dental Hygiene’s Opening Assembly on Thursday evening.  

“I’m just looking forward to the next two years,” said Kaur, one of seven students in the International Dentist Degree Program’s Class of 2026.  
Kaur trained to be a dentist in her home country of India. She immigrated to Canada in 2018 and said she chose UM to further her dental training because of the long history of success associated with the Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry.
