August News and Upcoming Events

This event will be helpful for private practice dentists who are interested in the addition of a soon-to-graduate dental student. Attendees will have a great opportunity to mingle with 3rd and 4th year students. The event will begin with a one-on-one speed networking event offering brief intervals to learn more about individual students and for our students to learn more about practice opportunities in the community. The networking event will be followed by a small reception where practitioners and students can continue to network in a more casual environment. The school will provide appetizers and non-alcoholic beverages to enjoy throughout the evening.
