The transition to online classes came very suddenly and many of us were not able to say goodbye to our classmates, friends and professors. I think we all felt a sense of regret for not taking the time we had together and using it to its fullest. The transition online was a little bumpy, but I am glad that we had such a supportive faculty that understood the changes we were going through.

It was very disappointing that we could not have an in-person ceremony, to say the least. We have all worked so hard these last few years and I definitely wanted to be able to celebrate it with my classmates and faculty in person.

When we first talked about doing a virtual celebration, I know a few of us were hesitant, but in the end, I am glad that we took the time to do it. It was a bittersweet time, but I am happy to see that our achievements did not go unrecognized.

The virtual grad toss was very special and was my favourite moment of the virtual celebration. It reminded me that I am not going through this difficult time alone. Our class is very supportive of each other and we have grown very close during our years in the Dental Hygiene program at ÒÁÈËÖ±²¥.

Right now, we are all looking forward to our postponed graduation banquet which will hopefully be happening on Nov 6, 2020!

Watch the here.
