UNC Dental School encourages students to ‘Live Like Deah'

Posted Jun 27, 2019
On the first floor of the UNC dental school, a display case holds two white coats, folded and framed in remembrance of Deah Shaddy Barakat and Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha. At the UNC dental school, they have an expression that they pass from class to class. “Live Like Deah,” they say, encouraging dental students to think big, think about others and give back.
