Her professional work ensures that the next generation of practitioners is equipped to address the diverse needs of their communities, directly reflecting the core values of the College of Graduate Health Studies.
Her commitment to service is best illustrated by her leadership in programs like "Give Kids A Smile," where she organized multilingual dental student volunteers to assist refugee and immigrant families. By ensuring these populations could access dental care in their own language, Dr. Muller not only removed critical barriers and built trust but also provided students with invaluable, hands-on experience in service-oriented care. These efforts demonstrate a profound dedication to improving health outcomes and fostering a spirit of volunteerism within the University community.
