MVCC Dental Hygiene Virtual Info Sessions, Nov. 16 and Dec. 1: New Rome Campus Degree

Admissions to the new dental hygiene degree are selective, so an hour with the program director from your couch is the quickest way to learn what it takes to get a seat for spring 2027.
Mohawk Valley Community College holds three virtual information sessions on its new Dental Hygiene degree: Monday, Nov. 16, 2026, at noon, and Tuesday, Dec. 1, at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. They're on Zoom, each about an hour; no cost is listed, and you register on MVCC's event page (details via the Utica Phoenix).
Dr. Kasey Penoyer, MVCC's director of dental hygiene, leads the sessions.
