Welcome from the Program Director

Welcome to the VCU School of Dentistry's Dental Hygiene Class of 2025. We are truly pleased you have selected VCU for your dental hygiene education. The next two years will be challenging and rewarding all at the same time as you become a dental professional.

You are joining a program that has great support from the alumni who have graduated before you. Your education at VCU will mold your future career aspirations in health care, and I urge you to absorb the rich environment you will find within VCU Health System and take full advantage of all educational opportunities. VCU’s Dental Hygiene Program has an outstanding and dedicated faculty and staff that complements our talented and compassionate student body.

We look forward to seeing you at the dental school in August for orientation. Best wishes for a great dental hygiene school experience.
