The Medical College of Georgia School of Dentistry Alumni Association's goal is to create ties that will last a lifetime between you and your alma mater. We cultivate those ties by offering you opportunities and services that enrich you educationally, professionally and socially. We consider your graduation from the Medical College of Georgia to signal the beginning, not the end, of MCG's relationship with you. With that in mind, the alumni association continually seeks new and innovative ways to meet the needs of our alumni.
