The University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry will dedicate its new Corktown Campus on Friday April 18, 2008 at 12:30 p.m. The event will include a building blessing and ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The Corktown Campus is located off I-96 at 2700 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. The UDM School of Dentistry relocated to its new site in January 2008 from its previous location on Outer Drive in Northwest Detroit.

The dedication is part of the School of Dentistry's 75th Anniversary celebrations. Since 1933, the School has awarded degrees or certificates to approximately 5,000 dentists, 2.000 dental hygienists and about 400 dental assistants. Approximately 350 postgraduate students have received specialty certificates and/or master's degrees. Annually, the School's clinics and outreach programs serve about 15,000 people, totaling 83,000 patient visits. Nearly one-third of the dentists practicing in Michigan are UDM School of Dentistry graduates.
