Temple Dental School staff, faculty, alumni and friends gathered at the Maurice H. Kornberg School of Dentistry to celebrate its official dedication on Oct. 17 with festivities honoring namesake Dr. Kornberg and the unprecedented gift given in his memory.

Invitees were welcomed to the event by Martin F. Tansy, Ph.D., dean of the school, and were treated to a rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner” performed by student a capella group The Impressions. President Ann Weaver Hart and Daniel H. Polett, chairman of the Temple University Board of Trustees, also spoke, before the unveiling of the new Maurice H. Kornberg School of Dentistry sign and portrait of Kornberg.

Last year, Kornberg’s daughter, Madlyn Abramson, and her husband, Leonard, gave a $10 million gift, the largest in the history of the school, which will go to student scholarships. In recognition, the school was renamed the Maurice H. Kornberg School of Dentistry, the first time a U.S. dental school has been named in recognition of a philanthropic gift.

After graduating from Temple in 1921, Kornberg dedicated his life to practicing dentistry, helping patients at a time when procedures were costly and not covered by insurance plans. He ran practices in Center City and South Philadelphia, and ran the dental clinic at the former Mount Sinai Hospital at Fifth and Reed streets.
