Lewis & Clark Community College Celebrates First Anniversary as NCOHF Affiliate
In 2009, the dental hygiene program at Illinois’ Lewis & Clark Community College (LCCC) received a grant from the ADHA Institute/NCOHF Toothfairy Grant Fund to join the National Children’s Oral Health Foundation (NCOHF) Affiliate network of nonprofit oral health care facilities providing life-changing care to at-risk children and their families across the country.
Since then, the LCCC dental hygiene program has become one of the strongest members of the NCOHF Affiliate network! Michelle Singley, RDH, EdM, professor and coordinator of the LCCC dental hygiene program, says, “It has been an incredible year for the children in our region, thanks to [NCOHF]. The product donations that we have received from your sponsors have allowed us to reach out [to a community of needy kids] and teach, seal, brush, floss, rinse, varnish and so much more! It has been our privilege to be out in our community college district representing your mission while we are teaching our dental hygiene students about giving back.”
To learn how you can help more dental hygiene programs benefit from funding, donated product and technical support as a member of the NCOHF Affiliate network visit www.AmericasToothfairy.org or www.adha.org/ioh!

Past participants in the ADEA/AAL IAHE have raved about the instructors and the wealth of information they share:
- Carol Brightwell, Clinical Professor, Tyler Junior College, called the ADEA/AAL IAHE, “A very approachable form of distance learning [with] very knowledgeable faculty.”
- Suzanne Hopper, Academic Director, Oregon Institute of Technology, stated, “Whether you are brand new to education, or have been teaching for a few years, or for many years, you will finish this course with new ideas to incorporate into the classroom and clinic. The facilitators are very knowledgeable, encouraging and supportive. Treat yourself to a practical and fun learning experience!”
- Mara Beth D. Womack, Assistant Professor, University of Southern Indiana, offered, “I wish I had been provided this information earlier in my teaching career. The content material was informative and energizing.”
On June 9, 16, 23 and 30, 2010, you will learn the latest advances in teaching technology, classroom assessments, conflict management, career planning and academic honesty. All of the sessions are recorded, so you can view a podcast if you miss a date or want to see the program again. For your convenience, you will not be invoiced until after July 1, 2010.
