This past weekend, we were thrilled to honor Former Dean Howard Landesman DDS ’62, MEd ’72, who earned his spot in the Half Century Hall of Fame for his longtime contributions to both USC and the dental school. Dean in the 1990s, Howard Landesman sat at the helm of the USC School of Dentistry during some precarious times for dental education.

It is largely because of his contributions that the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC can count itself among the nation’s most prestigious oral helathcare schools. From helping establish our robust research program to modernizing spaces around the building to significantly increasing the school’s fundraising, Landesman was essential to setting Ostrow on the course to excellence. Please join us in congratulating Dean Landesman on this honor! Fight on, Howard!

Earlier this summer, Ostrow welcomed oral and maxillofacial surgeon Jeffrey Tsai to our faculty ranks. “USC just seemed to provide that kind of environment that I was looking for,” says Tsai, whose career has taken him to the National Institutes of Health, the University of Washington and the Department of Veterans Affairs. “I could teach residents, I could teach students, I’d be in an academic environment where I could collaborate with researchers and other divisions in the school.”

“These transformative experiences not only prepare students for practice but also inspire many to pursue careers in federally qualified health centers, where they can demonstrate a professional commitment to serving communities with limited access to care as a major direction of their professional trajectory.”

—Daniel Romo shares Ostrow students’ experiences with the Community-Based Clinical Education rotation. All seven of California’s dental schools have implemented similar programs, funded by California Proposition 56 (the so-caled “tobacco tax”).
Students interested in participating this trimester can sign up for one of two information sessions, taking place September 21 at 12 p.m. (Blair Rooms B/C and Zoom) and September 22 (Zoom only).

On Sunday, we welcomed the DDS Class of 2030 and the ASPID Class of 2028 to the Trojan Dental Family at the annual White Coat Ceremony. In addition to putting on their white coats for the first time and taking the oath of an oral healthcare professional, the incoming class got some words of advice from speakers Dean Yang Chai PhD ‘91, DDS ‘96; USC Mobile Dental Clinic Director Sunny Fereshteh DDS ‘09; recent graduate Sam Sheridan DDS ’23; and current ASB President Rabee Almahdi DDS ’27.

Fight on, and welcome to the new classes!

This year, we asked our incoming DDS Class of 2026 to write down their dental school goals during Orientation Week, with plans to revisit these later, near Commencement. Here are some of the amazing things our DDS Class of 2030 plans to accomplish.

As Orientation Week comes to an end, we have one more upperclassman with advice for Ostrow’s newest cohort of DDS students. Fight on, Class of 2030!

08/26/2026

It’s Orientation Week at Ostrow. This week, we welcome the incoming DDS Class of 2030 to Ostrow. Orientation Week is capped off with the annual White Coat Ceremony, where the brand new DDS students join their ASPID counterparts from earlier this summer to put on their white coats for the first time and take the oath of an oral healthcare professional. We asked our upperclassmen to offer some advice for the newest members of the Trojan Dental Family. Fight on, Class of 2030!
