Florida Dental Hygiene Symposium - Student Day

Over 35 freshmen and sophomore students attended the student day at the Florida Student American Dental Hygienists’ Association (FSADHA) day in Orlando as part of the Florida Dental Hygienists’ Association (FDHA).  Incoming freshman Vice President Jessica Albury was elected to the Board as outgoing sophomore Treasurer and Delegate Joanne Banks is leaving the Board of FSADHA. Alternate Delegate Brittany Simpson also was in attendance.

Program Director Joan Tonner was there throughout the weekend as were some of their faculty. Dr. Katherine Woods, who served as Speaker of the FDHA House of Delegates and Linda Johnson, who served as a delegate to the FDHA House of Delegates attended the Symposium also. There were over 300 students present. They  had a day of fun listening to motivational speakers,  participating in dental hygiene trivia games with prizes and dance offs, along with more serious business such as elections and discussion of mega issues for the future of dental hygiene.  All of the sophomore students registered and took a mock exam in preparation for their National Board Exam in March 2016.
