A white coat frequently shows a certain professional pride, designating men and women who have earned the right to wear it and are proud of the profession they represent. <\/p>\n<p>    The class make-up consists of 29 dental students from Nebraska, 16 from states representing South Dakota, Colorado, Kansas, Wyoming, North Dakota and Iowa. Of the 24 dental hygiene students, 23 are from Nebraska and one is from South Dakota. <\/p>\n<p>    Below is a listing of students and their hometowns. <\/p>\n<p>    Dental <br \/>\n    Alliance: Benjamin Leeper <br \/>\n    Dodge: Kaylene Harms <br \/>\n    Elkhorn: James Koll <br \/>\n    Glenvil: Ashley Soucie <br \/>\n    Grand Island: Melissa Guerrero, Danielle Nott <br \/>\n    Indianola: Kevin Reiners <br \/>\n    Johnson Lake: Jessica Hanson <br \/>\n    Kearney: Danielle Freburg-Hoffmeister, Jason Jones <br \/>\n    Lincoln: Addison Killeen, Vanessa Barra, Veronica Barra, Carol Mills, Minh Nguyen, Esther Pedersen, Nathan Thomas, Scott White <br \/>\n    McCook: Kaitlin Powell <br \/>\n    Morrill: Travis Dickey <br \/>\n    North Platte: Jessamy Stengle <br \/>\n    Omaha: Michael Eickman, Peter Harbert, Jennifer Jones, Amy Ruf, Chad Snow <br \/>\n    Ord: Noah Piskorski <br \/>\n    Pawnee City: Billy Laun, II <br \/>\n    Pierce: Abbey Krienke <\/p>\n<p>    Alcester, S.D.: Amber Sigman <br \/>\n    Bowman, N.D.: Jennifer Sarsland <br \/>\n    Casper, Wyo.: Aaron Larsen <br \/>\n    Cheyenne, Wyo.: Callista Owen <br \/>\n    Dodge City, Kan.: Ryan Lehmkuhler <br \/>\n    Flandreau, S.D.: Kimberly Heinemann <br \/>\n    Laramie, Wyo.: Kari Sims, Michael Sullivan <br \/>\n    Littleton, Co.: Angela Cook <br \/>\n    Manhattan, Kan.: KoKo Tacha <br \/>\n    Overland Park, Kan.: Sarah Glatt <br \/>\n    Salem, S.D.: Rebecca Aden <br \/>\n    Sioux Falls, S.D.: Elizabeth Naber, Sunny Patel <br \/>\n    Stafford, Kan.: Jared Fox <br \/>\n    Spencer, Ia.: Ashley Terwee <\/p>\n<p>    Dental Hygiene <br \/>\n    Alma: Nicole Lukasiewicz <br \/>\n    &bull; Bridgeport: Tess Draper <br \/>\n    &bull; Chadron: Mattie Johnson <br \/>\n    Fremont: Carrie Anderson <br \/>\n    Gering: Holly Ostermiller <br \/>\n    LaVista: Stephanie Murnan <br \/>\n    Lincoln: Vicki Desh, Breanna Faller, Cynthia Foster, Erin Haley, Nina Howe, Emily Kruger, Mary Lowell, Krystle Wavra <br \/>\n    Mead: Katie Parsons <br \/>\n    Mitchell: Gregory Van Pelt <br \/>\n    Omaha: Ashley Wilkins <br \/>\n    Papillion: Kimberlee Koehler, Tracy Menard <br \/>\n    Pierce: Katie Volk <br \/>\n    Plattsmouth: Nathan Krueger <br \/>\n    &bull; Wilsonville: Alicia Brown <br \/>\n    Wisner: Stacy Heller <\/p>\n<p>    &bull; Batesland, S.D.: Margaret Smith <\/p>\n<p>    &bull; Indicates these students attend classes at the College of Dentistry&rsquo; west division campus in Gering, Neb. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UNMC College of Dentistry holds White Coat Ceremony for new students The University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Dentistry, located in Lincoln, held a White Coat Ceremony Aug. 24 to welcome 45 new dental and 24 new dental hygiene students into the dental profession.
