In early May 2011, UCF announced that the Board of Trustees would consider a motion to create a new College of Dental Medicine.[4][5] This followed a private donation of $10 million to the university for the purpose of creating a dental school.[4] On May 26, 2011, the Board voted to approve the new college.[1] The current dean of the UCF College of Medicine, Dr. Deborah C. German, will lead the effort to create the college.[2]
