Congratulations to our 10 Under 10 honorees!

Each year, we enjoy celebrating the efforts of recent graduates who go above and beyond in their professional careers; we do this by honoring them in the 10 Under 10 feature in the Leading Edge.  We are proud of our alumni who are both leaders in the profession and active members in their communities.  All of these alumni have unique and individual stories to share and can be read here.

Honorees are nominated by alumni colleagues, as well as faculty, staff and current students.  If you know of a Detroit Mercy Dental graduate who should be recognized as one of our 10 Under 10, please contact Kimberly Raleigh, director of Alumni Relations: kimberly.raleigh@udmercy.edu
