The gift was announced Jan. 20 2010 by USC President Steven B. Sample at a gala unveiling ceremony at the Norris Dental Science Center on the University Park campus.
In recognition of the gift – believed to be the largest individual donation to a dental school in the United States – the school has been renamed the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC, Sample announced.
The gift will be pivotal in raising the school to the next level of effectiveness, by providing resources to renovate and improve clinical facilities, to bring in new faculty members, to continue to support dental and craniofacial research, to enhance service programs in downtown Los Angeles and to attract and retain the best students, according to Avishai Sadan, dean of the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC.
Ostrow, who earned his DDS from USC in 1945, has a history of hard work and entrepreneurship. He spent 17 years practicing dentistry, including both private practice and service in the Army Dental Corps, before delving into Los Angeles construction and the real estate market. He also enjoys growing rare fruit trees.
The Ostrow School of Dentistry’s traditional curricula include the Doctor of Dental Surgery program, the Baccalaureate in Dental Hygiene program, and several postdoctoral programs in dental specialties. Other available degrees include combined DDS/MBA and DDS/M.S. programs, gerontology programs, master’s and Ph.D. opportunities in the craniofacial biology program and the Advanced Standing Program for International Dentists.
