    SCIENCE AND CERAMICS GAVE HIM A GREAT START  – For Julian Lutz '13, a pre-dentistry major now at Temple School of Dentistry, IUP’s strength in both the arts and sciences paid off. “The best thing I did besides the science classes was my ceramics class in the Art Dept. It was helpful to me for what I'm doing right now in dental school,” he said.
