The University of Manitoba received a significant gift this week.
Today, UM announced that Gerald and Reesa Niznick gifted the University of Manitoba’s (UM) Bannatyne campus $5 million towards a state-of-the-art dental clinic.
“Reesa and I are pleased to support the construction of this beautiful five-storey building. It will provide medical students with lecture facilities for an enhanced learning environment and dental students with state-of-the-art clinics for training on the full scope of patient care, utilizing the latest technologies,” said Dr. Gerald Niznick.
The new facility will be equipped with cutting-edge technology and training spaces, which will help the Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry set a new standard in dental education and oral healthcare for the community.
“We are grateful to the Niznicks for their long history of support that has enabled us to innovate, adapt, and optimize our operations to better meet the evolving needs of our community,” says Dr. Anastasia Kelekis-Cholakis, Dean of UM’s Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry.
UM is currently ranked 4th in Canada for dentistry and oral sciences.
