“So now being here for, I guess it’s my fourth time coming to Impressions Day because I came before dental school and then I’ve been volunteering ever since. My favorite part when I was a pre-dental student would have been just talking to students trying to see how I see myself here, what it’s like to be a dental student and the community that I felt was fostered by the volunteers was something that I wanted to be a part of,” she said.
Hall also says the SNDA focuses on minority students, trying to provide aid to students on and off campus, along with fostering a sense of community and allowing them to get in touch with resources available.
