Sandford B. Sugarman Memorial Fund for Continuing Dental Education

International Dentist Program students work in the UB School of Dental Medicine's new simulation lab in Squire Hall.

Annual dental symposiums receive support through this fund.

Established in 1980, the Sandford B. Sugarman Memorial Fund for Continuing Dental Education provide dental symposiums in memory of Sandford B. Sugarman.

The symposiums are provided under the direction of the Dean of the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine.

The School of Dental Medicine is a pioneer in the field—a research titan, and a shining example of the best of dental education, community engagement and global leadership. Maintaining our lead is expensive. Increasing our lead requires a $43 million investment, more visionary donors and additional philanthropic support. But the payoff is immense: With your help, our world-class research, education, clinical facilities and experiences will better prepare our students, redefine and strengthen dental medicine, and improve the health of countless millions of people.
