Off CAMPUS EVENTS & HAPPY HOUR

Thank you for your interest in hosting an off-campus event! Houston ASDA appreciates your efforts in educating and informing our students about the dental profession along with opportunities available to them in the future.

Please contact our social chairs, Eman Rustom (Eman.A.Rustom@uth.tmc.edu) and Michael Landavazo (Michael.J.Landavazo@uth.tmc.edu), and provide them with at least three dates that work with your schedule. They will be in charge of arranging the event with the venue of your choice. In addition, please let them know your preferences regarding the questions below. As part of your company’s exposure to our students, we ask for a $200 advertising fee which can be paid through the link provided on this page if you wish to have all 4 classes at the event. If your event targets our third and fourth year dental students, we ask for a $150 advertising fee. This fee covers all advertisement for the event including flyers, social media posts, and e-mails to our student body. It is our goal to provide you with an engaging audience, so that you are able to reach out to our future dental professionals.

We usually see anywhere from 30-70 students attend these events. From the three dates provided, we will pick the date that best suits our class schedule in order to maximize attendance.

Generally, representatives talk to our students individually or in small groups and/ or have a small presentation. Please let us know what kind of arrangements you need in order to have a successful event. Several venues are able to set up a projector, if needed.

The more the merrier, of course. It will help to have multiple representatives, so that you can reach out to as many students as possible.
