The IUSD Outreach Committee has worked together since February 1989. Its mission is to improve oral health and to provide community service by promoting IUSD student, faculty, and staff participation in high-quality and effective oral health outreach programs.

The outreach committee explores, analyzes and develops specific programs and linkages with other agencies, institutions, and individuals in Marion County in the state of Indiana. The committee meets bi-monthly and is chaired by Dr. Arden G. Christen. This interdisciplinary group represents faculty from IUSD, and also representatives from dental public health agencies, other IUPUI schools, and Indianapolis social service agencies. Contact is maintained with numerous groups, including Bridges to Success, Indiana State Department of Health, Marion County Health Department, People's Health Center, The Indiana University Nicotine Dependent Program, Indiana Donated Dental Services and many others.
