Scholarship Honors Dental Hygiene

Stacie Latino and Bill Helm

The 2011 Tracy Helm Scholarship in Dental Hygiene has been awarded to Stacie Latino, a senior student in the dental hygiene program. The scholarship is awarded each year to a senior dental hygiene student who is outgoing, kind, and considerate of her faculty, fellow students, and patients. The recipient is selected by the faculty of the Dental Hygiene Program

The scholarship was presented by Bill Helm, Tracy's father, on April 1, 2011. He established the scholarship in 1997 as a way to honor his daughter, who died in a tragic automobile accident in 1994. She was a 1993 graduate of the Dental Hygiene Program.

Since the scholarship fund was established, several members of the Helm family have made additional contributions.
