Lyon College School of Dental Medicine

As the first and only private dental school in Arkansas, the Lyon College School of Dental Medicine exists because supporters like you believe access to quality dental care should not depend on geography or income.
Too many Arkansans still go without routine dental care. Your generosity helps change that reality by educating compassionate, highly skilled dentists who will serve communities across the state. Through the Annual Giving Societies, your gift directly shapes the future of dental education and patient care in Arkansas. Your support strengthens clinical training, advances technology, and expands programs that improve access to care. Every level of giving makes a meaningful difference. When you join an Annual Giving Society, you become a partner in lasting impact, supporting students as they pursue their calling and extending high-quality dental care beyond our campus and into communities statewide.

Purpose: The President’s Circle represents the highest level of annual giving for the School of Dental Medicine. Members of this society are philanthropic partners who want to make a transformational impact on the School’s mission — improving oral health, expanding access to care, and strengthening communities across Arkansas.
