Dean's Seminar Series
This is a monthly event, attended by dental students, residents and faculty, who obtain continuing education credit for attending. The Office of Research will survey the dental faculty for their recommendations of individuals to invite as a guest for the Dean's Seminar Series. The Office of Research will develop a list of recommendations and review them with the Dean of the School of Dental Medicine. Typically, there are seven scheduled Dean's Seminar Series each academic year. The guest lecturer will receive an honorarium as well as a reimbursement of their travel expenses. The Office of Research will coordinate the guest's lodging in the area for any scheduled overnight visits as well as meals.
