Service in our Community
As part of Temple University's Global Days of Service, Kornberg School of Dentistry hosted a breakfast at New Vision United  Methodist Church on Saturday, April 29. More than 20 alumni, students and staff volunteered and served the community breakfast and distributed oral healthcare goodie bags. This event is just one of the many programs we sponsor throughout the year in our neighboring community.

White Coat Ceremony
White Coat Ceremony was held on May 5, 2017 to honor the Class of 2019. This moving and significant event is one of the most important milestones in a dental student’s life, welcoming the newest clinicians to practical study. This year's ceremony featured Dr. Bruce Terry, President of Pennsylvania Dental Association and  Eugene Whitaker, Associate Clinical Professor.



Haiti Outreach

The annual visit to Haiti sent four attending dentists and ten dental students to one of the most impoverished countries in the world to provide dental care to underserved children. They traveled to 10 different villages, treating as many people as possible each day. Alumnus Dr. Josh Bresler led the mission this year, updating us on the group’s activities throughout the week.
