She also continued to practice dental hygiene in Lincoln. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout her time at UNMC, Darlene received many teaching awards, and numerous classes honored her with a special role at their graduations. Additionally, many alums fondly remember her being the long-term advisor for the Student American Dental Hygienists\u2019 Association (SADHA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Darlene leaves a legacy of passion for community outreach; she was instrumental in setting up many rotations to give students opportunities to help the underserved and other special groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDarlene, I extend a heartfelt thank you for caring about our patients and our students,\u201d Gwen said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To celebrate her retirement, Darlene\u2019s colleagues presented her with the Oral-B Award for being a passionate educator and humanitarian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also surprised her with a presentation outlining what\u2019s important to her \u2013 and what subsequently makes Darlene an extraordinary teacher and colleague &#8211; including her love of dental hygiene, her farm and the Huskers, and the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Her Faith<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cAs a steadfast and integral part of who she is, Darlene\u2019s faith has been her guide through all the joys, challenges, adventures, disappointments and journeys she has traveled thus far, and those yet to come,\u201d said Lindsay Mundil, RDH, MA, an assistant professor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>People and Relationships<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cDarlene became my mentor through the American Dental Hygiene Association (ADHA) when she served as a delegate for Nebraska and I was a student delegate,\u201d said Jane Broekemeier, RDH, a clinical instructor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Darlene also was the president and legislative chair for the Nebraska Dental Hygiene Association (NDHA). She was involved in many advancements of the dental hygiene profession in Nebraska, including administration of local anesthesia and N2O sedation, unsupervised practice in public health settings, and prescription writing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf she was not leading the mission, she was behind the scenes, ensuring success by mentoring others,\u201d Jane said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDarlene has been a great mentor to all her students and colleagues, always encouraging and demanding the best from us.&nbsp;On behalf of your students and colleagues, thank you for always demonstrating drive and perseverance, and always giving your very best,\u201d she said.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Music <\/strong>\u2013 \u201cFor many years, Darlene has played the piano and organ.&nbsp;We believe this contributed to her skills as a dental hygienist due to the dexterity demands of playing instruments,\u201d said Noni Henderson, RDH, a clinical instructor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emily Lindquist, RDH, a clinical instructor, ended the presentation with an emotional farewell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDarlene, you have meant so much to the UNMC College of Dentistry and the Department of Dental Hygiene. It&#8217;s hard to put into words how much we appreciate you and all you have done,&#8221; Emily said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Together, we want to congratulate you on your retirement.
