First in the nation

Sixty-five years ago, George Blue Spruce Jr., DDS’56, became the first American Indian dentist in the U.S. Now, at the age of 90, he says his work is far from finished. “The University,” he said, “took the time and care to make me feel important. To make me know that I matter. In my career, I’ve tried to do the same for every patient, every student, every person I meet.”

Read about George's amazing life.
