Applying Your Degree in the Real World

I attended a lunch and learn event at Temple Dental, presented by Temple alumni Will Choi. The session, titled Applying Your Degree into the Real World, provided valuable insights into how academic knowledge and skills can be effectively transferred into professional practice. I learned strategies for bridging the gap between classroom learning and real-world application, as well as the importance of adaptability, continuous learning, and networking in building a successful career. This experience connects directly to my coursework by showing the practical impact of what I am studying, and it supports my long-term career goals by helping me envision how to apply my degree in meaningful and impactful ways.
