Dental Assisting Program Awards 10 Pins to Graduates
Posted on Aug 12, 2025 at 8:23 AM
Ten students in the Dental Assisting program at Ogeechee Technical College received their pins in an annual ceremony held at 6:00 pm in the Joseph E. Kennedy Auditorium on Wednesday, July 30.
Yvonne Jenkins, Dental Assisting program director, welcomed the crowd of friends and family who were in attendance to celebrate their loved ones.
“This class has not only worked very hard, but they have also worked together and supported each other. I am excited about what the future holds for them and that when I send the next class of students into local dental offices to complete their clinical hours, these graduates will be there to help educate them,” said Jenkins.
While addressing her class, dental assisting class president Tabitha Reynolds said, “We’re not just learning a trade; we’re stepping into a calling. As dental assistants, we’ll be a calming presence for a nervous child, the extra set of hands that makes a tough procedure go smoothly… we are the heartbeat of the dental office.”
The ten students who received their pins were: Jasmine Camacho-Benitez, Hanna De Terra, Alejandra Garcia, Chlo’e Lynn, Rebekah Miles, Baylee Moseley, Tabitha Reynolds, Viviana Rodriguez, Samantha Simoes, and Rickayla Slater.
