College of Dental Medicine Students provide free oral health supplies during National Night Out
Students Sarah Anaie (Dental Medicine, ’21) and Kelli Ehemann (Dental Medicine, ’21) recently set up a booth in Portland during National Night Out to provide visitors with free oral health supplies and information about services offered at the Âé¶¹´«Ã½Oral Health Center.
National Night Out occurs annually in neighborhoods across the country on the first Tuesday in August. The event is designed to bring communities and neighbors together for a celebration of the outdoors and the diverse cultures that make up our neighborhoods.
“We were so happy to be a part of National Night Out,� Anaie commented. “It was great to see the community coming together. We got to see the diverse cultures of Portland represented in awesome songs and dance.�
Anaie and Ehemann set up the booth as part of the Âé¶¹´«Ã½Student National Dental Association’s (Âé¶¹´«Ã½SNDA) partnership with the Portland Housing Authority.
Community engagement is a cornerstone of Âé¶¹´«Ã½SNDA's mission.
