Penn Dental Medicine is to receive a $20 million estate gift from alumnus Carol Corby-Waller.
Ms. Corby-Waller gave the gift in honor of her father, Arthur Corby, who earned his dental degree from Penn Dental Medicine in 1917. The school has already received the first $10 million of an anticipated $20 million, with the balance expected to come later this year.
The unrestricted gift comes on the heels of the launch of four new centers at Penn Dental Medicine: The Center for Clinical and Translational Research, the Center for Innovation and Precision Dentistry, the Care Center for Persons with Disabilities, and the Center for Integrated Global Oral Health.
