The University of Maryland School of Dentistry (UMSOD) recognizes that vendor presentations can provide useful educational and research materials for our students. Presentations can also be a learning experience for students to evaluate products, devices and services, and learn new techniques. UMSOD and UMB policies and procedures must be followed for a vendor to make a presentation to students. Failure to comply with these policies and procedures may be subject to disciplinary action according to section 2M of the Student Judicial Policy.

Approval process:

1. Identify a faculty member to support the Lunch and Learn program.
2. Ask the faculty member to obtain a written approval from their department chairperson.
3. Submit Lunch and Learn presentations requests and approval letter to the Office of Institutional Advancement (OIA) at least three weeks prior to the presentation. Please contact Dr. Keith Groves, Executive Director of Office of Institutional Advancement for approvals.
4. Once approved by OIA, at least one week prior to the event, requests must be uploaded to the UMSOD Event Registration Form.
