We had a ball (yep, we said it 😅) on the first day of classes! A few scenes from dental hygiene, mortuary science, nursing, and caught up with radiologic technology students snapping a photo with Charlie! Great to see so many new faces PLUS some returners looking to advance their current healthcare skills. What a great start to the school year! 🦷🪥⚰️🩺🩻☢️
