Behind every gift to the Penn Dental Medicine Annual Fund are students working toward their own goals and a future in oral health. Meet three of our students and hear what the support of alumni and friends means to them and their Penn Dental experience.

Sean Moran, D'28

I am deeply grateful to the Penn Dental Medicine community for your support. Your generosity not only helps me pursue my dental education but also relieves the financial challenges that often accompany dental school, allowing me to focus more fully on my training and future patients.

Anna Haddad, D'27, GD'30

Thanks to your support, ASDA at Penn (American Student Dental Association) was able to attend the National Lobbying Day in Washington, DC! We met with members of congress and congressional staff to discuss current policies that impact dentistry.

Justin Wong, D'28

I was fortunate to receive financial support which helped make presenting my research at the 2026 American Association of Endodontists (AAE) meeting. I’m really grateful for the opportunity. It gave me a better understanding of the specialty, from the deep passion people have for endodontics to the challenges they face in practice, and it further strengthened my interest in the field!
