Providing outreach and education

Third-year dental students Michelle Wu, Nidhi Tanwar and Juliet Pridgen distributed 288 oral hygiene kits and shared information about Texas A&M College of Dentistry and its services and clinics during Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s 3rd Annual Back-to-School Resource Fair on July 26 at The Shops at RedBird in southern Dallas. Crockett, D-Texas, didn’t attend, but between 500 and 600 people were there, said Dana Acton of A&M’s Federal Relations Office.

Tony Keller of Community Outreach Office was with the dental students.

“We were busy the entire event,” he said. “The community response was incredible.”
