During the fall and spring semesters, MDA/MDIS host Food for Thought "lunch and learns" that feature a free lunch and a presentation from a dentist who talks about their journey in the profession. Every student who attends a Food For Thought and stays to the end will have a chance to win some cash, gift cards and t-shirts.
