Congratulations to Rio Salado College's Dental Hygiene Program class of 2018, which celebrated its graduation with a pinning ceremony on Thursday, Dec. 13, 2018.

The pinning ceremony is a custom in medical and dental professions. It marks the successful culmination of a program of study and is acknowledged by society as a symbol of distinction and of a special humanitarian profession.

Rio Salado students raise funds throughout the year for this ceremony and for local charities. This year, students decided to donate to Lost Our Home Pet Rescue in Tempe, Arizona.

The ceremony also provides a chance to recognize students for their other outstanding achievements. Awards were presented to the following students for academic excellence:

Western Society of Periodontology Award - Dapzury Carter
Colgate STAR Award - Trisha Intintoli
Hu-Friedy Golden Scaler Award - Christina Pflumm

We wish you the very best on your new career!
