🦷 Alumni Spotlight: Silvia Vicuña 🎓

We are proud to celebrate Silvia Vicuna, a graduate from CMC’s inaugural Dental Hygiene cohort and now a CMC alum! As a member of the program’s very first graduating class, Silvia helped pave the way for future students entering this exciting and growing healthcare field.

She balanced the demands of returning to school while pursuing a goal that was deeply personal: showing her daughter the value of earning a degree. As a first generation college graduate and commencement student speaker, Silvia represents the determination and impact that define the CMC experience.

Congratulations, Silvia, and to all of CMC’s first Dental Hygiene graduates! 🎉
