My name is Carter Coppinger, and I am a second-year student at the University of Iowa College of Dentistry and Dental Clinics. I attended the University of Iowa for undergraduate degree, and graduated with a Bachelor's of Science degree in Biochemistry and a minor in Chemistry and Business Administration in May 2021. This year, I am the President-Elect of the Iowa chapter of the American Student Dental Association which has also given me the opportunity to serve as a Delegate for the Graduate and Professional Student Government. I am excited to collaborate with and meet other graduate students through my role!
