It is the responsibility of this committee to recruit, select, and recommend to the Dean the most outstanding group of student applicants for admission to the D.M.D. program of The Dental College of Georgia. This committee will actively recruit applicants by informing high school and college students of opportunities in dentistry and encouraging qualified students to pursue a career in dentistry. It will advise prospective students of the prerequisites and procedures for applying to The Dental College of Georgia. It will develop policies and procedures for student admission to the DMD program that will ensure the best‐qualified students are selected from the applicant pool. The committee consists of approximately 30 members: 20 full‐time faculty members selected by the Nominating Committee in consultation with the Associate Dean for Admissions; Alumni member(s) identified by the Dean; two dental students each representing the sophomore, junior and senior classes; one member from the AU department of minority affairs; and a member of the Office of Student Admissions. The Associate Dean for Admissions will be a member and permanent chair of the committee. Members of this committee who are not full‐time members of The Dental College of Georgia will be identified by the Dean, whether they are elected by their constituents or appointed. The committee's recommendations will be presented directly to the Dean.
