Choosing WVU to pursue dental hygiene was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. This program challenged me in the best ways—academically, professionally and personally.

Choosing WVU to pursue dental hygiene was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. This program challenged me in the best ways—academically, professionally and personally.
One of the key parts of neurology is getting to talk to patients, to hear their story and understand what’s going on. I love talking to people, and I realized that this field was exactly what I wanted.
Professors are always helpful, and it's clear that they are invested in the future success of their students. The ability to rotate at clinical sites for a semester exposes students to real-world applications of what we investigate in the classroom.
Overall, through this program, I have been able to be more than just a hygiene student. I am a leader, a mentor, a friend, a volunteer and a person my childhood self would be proud of.
Within the clinical settings, our professors are so eager for us to learn. You are present, they are present, and you truly do see how much someone can care for you and your success as a student. It feels like family here and I know I can always talk to my teachers.
