Description
The American Dental Education Association (ADEA), through a commitment from Colgate-Palmolive Co., established the DePaola Scholar fellowship to support a dental school faculty member who demonstrates leadership potential. The fellowship funds participation in the ADEA Leadership Institute, with the goal of preparing the recipient for a leadership position in an academic dental institution. It supports leadership development rather than a separate research project.
The fellowship honors Dominick P. DePaola, D.D.S., Ph.D., whose career encompassed dental education, research, patient care and academic administration. The Leadership Institute is a yearlong program for promising faculty and administrators at academic dental institutions. Its graduates have held roles including department chair, program director and dental school dean.
