The New Dental Hygienist

Niece Kris graduated from the College of DuPage last week and is now an official, professional dental hygienist. We were pleased to be able to attend the pinning ceremony, which was held the evening prior to the next day's graduation exercises. Below you can see Kris (tan suit; cranberry blouse) along with her classmates.


Speeches were given by program administrators and the college president.



Here is Kris receiving her pin. The next photo shows her receiving a corporate-sponsored award for best demonstration of care for patients. Following that, you can see Kris reciting a professional pledge.




Here are all of the family members who were present, followed by a shot of Kris showing off her new pin.



I thought the following three pictures were especially nice ones: Kris with her grandmother, with her friend Tom, and with her immediate family members. Everyone was very proud, of course. All best wishes and good luck to you, Kris!!
