Established through a commitment from Colgate-Palmolive Co. to the American Dental Education Association (ADEA), this fellowship gives a dental school faculty member with leadership potential the opportunity to participate in the ADEA Leadership Institute. It honors Dr. Dominick P. DePaola, a leader in dental education, research, patient care and academic administration.
