DH Distinguished Alumnae

    The luncheon with the four DH alumnae was wonderful. The fact that the women took time out of their busy schedules to come talk to us was much appreciated. It truly was inspirational to hear about their journeys and how vital dental hygiene was to their lives. While only one or two of the alumnae still practice as hygienists, they all still utilize certain things that they gained from the DH program. One thing I could not imagine is coming to clinic or class wearing white nursing dresses. Since we always wear loose fitting scrubs, it seems impossible to work effectively in a dress.
       It would have been fun to see pictures of them while they were in the program. I also would find it interesting to see picture of the clinic or where they took classes. I'm sure the school has greatly changed since they were here. Just thinking about how different MCV will be twenty years after we graduate is perplexing. Will some of my classmates be teaching here? One thing is certain about the visit, it made me think more so upon the future and where I will be in twenty years time.
