Student Life – Immerse Yourself in Opportunities to Connect and Grow

With more than 30 student clubs and organizations at the Dugoni School, there are always new experiences to enhance your life as a student here. Events include social gatherings and class retreats across the Bay Area, local and international community outreach, sports, cultural festivities, networking and other extra-curricular activities organized by student affinity groups.

Whether you become a student officer, join a study club, conduct research, volunteer in the community, play on a basketball team or organize a talent show, you can gain valuable experience, make lifelong connections and have a richer experience while in dental school.

What makes this community special is the approachability of everyone, from professors to administrative staff. This level of accessibility is rare, and it sets the Dugoni School apart from other institutions. I have found that the school provides ample opportunities for students to form meaningful connections with mentors, which is often a struggle at larger universities. Additionally, the Mosaic Mentorship Program has been an invaluable resource for me as a first-generation student, helping me integrate into the school community and connect with individuals from diverse backgrounds.
