Great job to our senior Dental Hygiene students who participated in the Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity Forum (URCAF) last month! 👏🦷

Three groups from the Community Oral Health Management II class presented their research, and one group earned 3rd place for their abstract and poster presentation titled “The Silent Epidemic: Bright Care, Healthy Smiles.” Their project highlighted the importance of oral hygiene for elderly patients experiencing long hospital stays.

Congratulations to Kellen Peri, Samantha Silva, Grace Brabander, Aubrey Eilers and Addison Francis-Wilcox on this well-deserved achievement!
