Sunday, June 14, 2026 ~ 6PM ~ Museum of Jewish Heritage, NYC
New York City is about to make history and you’re invited to be in the room when it happens.
On June 14th, the dental community will gather to celebrate the opening of Yeshiva University’s College of Dental Medicine, the first new dental school established in New York City in over 110 years. This is a once-in-a-generation milestone, and the evening to mark it will be unforgettable.
The celebration takes place at one of Manhattan’s most breathtaking venues: the Museum of Jewish Heritage, poised at the water’s edge in Battery Park City, with sweeping views of New York Harbor.

The College of Dental Medicine is more than a new institution. It’s a bold reimagining of dental education. Located in Herald Square steps from Penn Station, the school centers on an accelerated three-year DDS program where students treat real patients from their very first year. It’s designed to expand access to care and produce the next generation of exceptional dentists.
We are proud to share that Smile Potential’s own Kelly Fox-Galvagni serves on the Dean’s Advisory Council for the College and has been asked to serve as emcee for the evening. Join us as we celebrate this landmark achievement alongside friends, colleagues, and leaders across the dental community.
