John Reinhardt, D.D.S., dean of the college, said<\/p>\n<p>the ceremony was a celebration of the students&#8217; transition into patient<\/p>\n<p>care as well as an opportunity to stress the importance of professionalism<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; including appearance, ethical behavior, honesty and compassion &#8212; in<\/p>\n<p>caring for the needs of patients.<\/p>\n<p>The students, who were given new blue lab coats and the commemorative<\/p>\n<p>pens used to sign their pledges, will start seeing patients soon in the<\/p>\n<p>college&#8217;s clinics. There are 44 second-year dental students and 20 third-year<\/p>\n<p>hygiene students.<\/p>\n<p>Sree Koka, D.D.S., Ph.D., associate professor in the department of oral<\/p>\n<p>biology, said being a member of a profession is more than having a specialized<\/p>\n<p>education, following a code of ethics and obtaining licensure. It also<\/p>\n<p>involves living up to a unique public trust and community standing earned<\/p>\n<p>by the conduct of dentists and dental hygienists in the past.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Society has conferred upon you a belief that you are a member of a<\/p>\n<p>profession,&#8221; Dr. Koka told the students. &#8220;Society wants to know that the<\/p>\n<p>trust it places in you is warranted, that it is placing concerns about<\/p>\n<p>its oral health in the hands of intelligent, compassionate and ethical<\/p>\n<p>individuals. I urge you to be keenly aware that our reputation now rests<\/p>\n<p>in your hands.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In signing the pledge, students committed themselves to treating patients<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;with concern for their comfort, safety and confidentiality.&#8221; They also<\/p>\n<p>agreed &#8220;to uphold the dignity of the dental profession by serving all patients<\/p>\n<p>with integrity and respect&#8221; and to advance their knowledge and strengthen<\/p>\n<p>their skills throughout their educational experience and their professional<\/p>\n<p>careers.<\/p>\n<p>Hometowns and names of the students are listed below.<\/p>\n<p><b>Dental students<\/b><\/p>\n<p>ALLIANCE  Joseph Thompson<\/p>\n<p>ATKINSON  Kathryn Cadwallader<\/p>\n<p>BEE  Matthew Kunasek<\/p>\n<p>BATTLE CREEK  Melanie Anderson<\/p>\n<p>CRAWFORD  Travis Lambert<\/p>\n<p>CENTRAL CITY  Julee Weidner<\/p>\n<p>CREIGHTON  Craig Braun<\/p>\n<p>GRAND ISLAND  Mark Braasch, John Neuhaus<\/p>\n<p>HASTINGS  Paige Miller<\/p>\n<p>HENDERSON  Robert Pankratz<\/p>\n<p>LINCOLN  Susan Alexander, Brent Johnson, Martin Killeen, Thomas Milius,<\/p>\n<p>Brian Newell, David Rallis<\/p>\n<p>LOUP CITY  Daniel Flynn<\/p>\n<p>MORRILL  Paula Schmidt<\/p>\n<p>OMAHA  Matthew Belcher, Bryan Medaris<\/p>\n<p>SALEM  Nathan Thompson<\/p>\n<p>SOUTH SIOUX CITY  Benjamin Aitken<\/p>\n<p>WAYNE  Erik Wiseman<\/p>\n<p>WEST POINT  Timothy Ernesti<\/p>\n<p>FRESNO, CALIF.
