Kornberg prides itself on its collaborative nature and the strength of its community. Student activities lie at the heart of the community.
Lunch and Learn Sessions
Kornberg coordinates regular lunchtime presentations—often planned in conjunction with Temple University’s Career Center, the Office of Student Affairs, and the Office of Institutional Diversity, Equity, Advocacy and Leadership—from external groups including career advisors, corporations, dental societies, fellowships, prospective employers, residencies and more. These sessions are designed to provide students with valuable knowledge, which will help prepare them for professional careers in dentistry or another industry, further fostering the sense of community that drives Kornberg.
