The University of Montana Western Department of Biology is proud to announce that senior Kylee Pittman has been accepted into the University of Utah School of Dentistry.
Growing up in Glen, Montana, Pittman has aspired to become a dentist since she was four years old. Her dream is now quickly becoming a reality as she will begin dentistry school this fall due to a combination of hard work, focus, determination, and exceptional academic performance. Her accomplishments became more impressive upon recently receiving offers from multiple dental schools across the country.
In addition to the time she dedicates to her studies, Pittman also works as a dental assistant at Dillon Family Dental and volunteers in multiple ways for her community. She also presented original research on equine clinical dental anatomy at a national meeting of the American Association for Anatomy in Washington, D.C., in March 2023.
Pittman is the sixth UMW Biology student to recently be accepted into a professional school program.
