临床项目临时副院长埃里克·戈特曼(Eric Gottman)博士担任仪式主持人,院长保罗·卢普克(Paul Luepke)对1200多名与会者表示欢迎并发表讲话。 “It is my honor and privilege to stand before you today” Luepke commented. “I would like the dental and hygiene students to rise. 现在把你的手放在前面,看着你的手。 These are the hands that are going to heal and transform our patients’ lives. 照顾好这双手。 此外,在牙科和卫生方面,你会有很多工具可供选择,然而,最重要的工具是你的大脑。 Keep it sharp, keep learning, and always make decisions that will be the most professional and with the highest integrity” he added. “I am looking forward to going on this journey with you and wish you the best as you continue your clinic portion of instruction. I have great faith that you will be great dentists and hygienists!”
每个班都选择有影响力的教师做主题演讲。 口腔卫生系临床助理教授Andrea Tresner教授被口腔卫生学班选中,临床助理教授兼临床修复科学部副主任Luke Wezeman博士被口腔卫生学班选中。


演讲结束后,每个班齐声站起来宣读各自的道德守则,然后每个班的成员在向他们颁发白大褂(DDS学生)或工作服(DH学生)后穿过舞台时签名。 学生们带着对他们的病人、教育、彼此和他们的职业的再次奉献离开了典礼。



Family and friends had the opportunity to witness their affirmation and celebrated the significant accomplishment in each student’s career.
