Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine is now home to the Richardson Collection, a landmark study of longitudinal growth in 98 African-American children conducted by Elisha R. Richardson, BS, DDS, MS, PhD. The collection, including radiographs and dental casts, was entrusted to CWRU by Dr. Richardson’s family after his passing to ensure its preservation and accessibility for future generations of researchers.
Two hundred years after Case Western Reserve University’s founding, the School of Dental Medicine is shaping the future of dental education with bold vision and measurable progress. Guided by The Business of Dental Education, our comprehensive strategic plan approved in late 2023, we’ve spent the past two years transforming how we teach, learn, discover, and serve. From record-setting student achievement and groundbreaking research funding to innovative patient care models and expanded community partnerships, the milestones of 2024 and 2025 reflect both our tradition of excellence and our momentum for the future.
