On Friday, September 4th, we had our first general meeting of the semester. We first discussed the purpose of this organization and went over our upcoming plans. We then briefly went over the point system, which can be accessed here. Next, members were given an opportunity to become acquainted with one another.
Our second general meeting was held on Friday, September 11th. We had two guest speakers, Ms. Brenda Brent and Dr. Darlene Kness. Ms. Brent is UCO's Academic Adviser for biology-related courses, and she spoke about what it takes to be accepted to a dental/dental hygiene program. She also presented the latest information from OU’s College of Dentistry. Dr. Kness is the Coordinator of UCO’s Fashion Marketing Program, and she teaches the Dress for the Professional course. She discussed the importance of professional clothing choices and gave great advice on how one should present him/herself at an interview.
If you have not yet received an e-mail with the membership form/survey, we ask that you complete it as soon as possible. Fill it out, and submit it here. Dues must be paid by Friday, September 25th. You have four different payment options to choose from.
