In her address to the students, Program Director Susan Brewer emphasized the importance of oral health care and the positive impact these graduates will have on patient care in Alabama. She pointed out the significant contributions the graduates have already made to the community, having treated 1,878 patients, including 638 children and adolescents, 266 senior adults and 546 special needs and medically compromised patients.
Brewer also highlighted the perseverance and dedication of the graduates. She proudly announced that all graduates successfully completed the clinical board examination, showcasing their determination and resilience.
“You have faced challenges, overcome obstacles, and continually pushed yourselves to excel. And excel you did,” Brewer said.
Instructor Halli Melton said the Class of 2025 showed a great deal of initiative right from the beginning. Many of the students worked outside of their required clinical times to complete their requirements early.
“Faculty have been remarkably impressed with your tenacity to further your skills,” Melton said.
Several awards were presented to outstanding graduates:
The graduates were encouraged to embrace their new roles as dental hygienists, make a difference in the lives of their patients, and continue striving for excellence.
“Enjoy this moment to the fullest because you have earned it. Embrace the privilege and responsibility that comes with being a dental hygienist,” Brewer said.
