“As a biomedical engineer, it was thrilling to work on a new frontier, but I felt the benefits of the work were decades away. I was inspired by how much dental innovation is done by dentists for dentists, combining the fascinating, cutting-edge content of biomedical engineering and the
tangible, community impact I value.” – Nir Diskin, Class of 2026, recipient of the Elizabeth And Eugene C. Harrison Scholarship Fund
‎
Thanks to donor support, students like Diskin are unlocking their potential as rising dental professionals working to improve oral health care outcomes for communities near and far. 🌟
