#StayNearGoFar

May is National Dental Health Month, a reminder that we should be regularly brushing and flossing our teeth.

It was a celebration complete with bagpipes, drums, the Lee County EMS Color Guard and many chiefs, officers and employees representing Lee EMS and Lehigh Acres Fire Control and Rescue District.

Graduation is June 12 for Hodges’ Class of 2022, but we got a head start on the celebration with Grad Bash on April 28.

Did you know that you can save up to three lives by donating one pint of blood?With just 30 minutes of your time, you can help accident victims and those fighting illnesses like cancer or sickle cell disease.

The number 100 symbolizes infinite potential.

In less than 100 days, my favorite day of the year will be here: Commencement.

A smile, especially when perfect, is worth a thousand words. A dental hygienist is the professional who expertly cleans your teeth so you’ll enjoy a healthier smile. The Bureau of Labor Statistics says the average annual salary for dental hygienists is $67,870.

There is a critical shortage of blood in our community, so Hodges’ faculty, staff and students stepped up and rolled up their sleeves to help.

Everyone loves a parade and Hodges University will be part of the Edison Festival of Light Grand Parade on Feb.

At Hodges University, we teach on campus and online, but also in the community as the sponsor of the 10th Annual Elliott Katz Lecture Series.
