Dental Class of 2019 and Dental Hygiene Class of 2017 mark their entry into dentistry

New dental and dental hygiene students took part in a ceremony August 22 to mark their entry into the profession.

The 120 DMD students and 30 dental hygiene students donned the white coat and recited a pledge accepting responsibility to patients, the profession and the community. About 900 people attended the White Coat ceremony and 700 toured the school following the event. In addition to dental school faculty, staff, students and their families, two fourth-year dental students from Poland attended as part of their dental exchange program experience.
