Kudos to Dental Hygiene Faculty & Students!
Letter from a potential student to Linda Wing, Dental Hygiene Faculty
"Thank you for allowing me to visit your facilities. I realize that this took time away from your regular responsibilities, and I am grateful for all the information that you provided me regarding the Dental Hygiene program. Last night, I talked to my family about my experience at the COT. I became more convinced that I want to join your program and pursue a career in dental hygiene. I am glad you gave me ideas about which classes I should take while still in school. It was eye-opening to see how a normal day is inside the classroom. Talking to the students was especially helpful as they provided me with useful tips that I wouldn't have gotten anywhere else except from the source. Your students are very polite and friendly. Thank you, again, for giving me this valuable learning experience. This visit made up my mind in that I definitely want to be a dental hygienist." |
