Alumni & Giving

It starts with you

There has never been a more crucial time to address oral health, or a more critical need for the best and brightest dental professionals.

The generosity of alumni like you who learn, earn, and return opens doors to the brightest students and gives them state-of-the-art facilities. It fosters global outreach, expands community dentistry, and fuels groundbreaking research. Your generous support of the Indiana University School of Dentistry advances oral health worldwide. 

We are always happy to hear from our alumni. Please don't hesitate to reach out to connect. Contact our alumni office or development office to learn more about how alumni can positively affect the lives of generations of dental professionals.

Share your experience

2025 IU Indianapolis Spirit of Philanthropy Award recipient Dr. Ty Campbell shares his experience

Description of the video:


I uh graduated from the IU School of Dentistry in 1987 and uh I made my practice on the north side of Indianapolis and practiced in that area for 35 years. I retired uh in uh August officially of 2022. I had a great experience in dental school. Um I felt like that being here was my dream to go on to graduate school and be a dentist. And u I was here for four of the best years of my life. I thought we have a hidden gem here. Uh this is not only the only uh dental school in the state of Indiana, but it is um one of

the best dental schools uh in the nation, if not in the world. And um I think that we sometimes take it for granted a little bit. And I think it's important for alumni to remember that uh this is something to be proud of. This is something to support and something to uh uh lend a hand with not only scholarships but uh support for the school in general. I would do this all over again. I would uh go right back to Ball State and u I would uh get my undergrad degree and apply to dental school and I would start my career all

over again. And I can't really say anything more positive about um a career well spent than to say that I would do this all over again.
