Marie G. Smith, assistant professor of dental hygiene (center in photo at left), joined a group of students at their on-campus residence for an evening of making baked nuts using her favorite recipe. The activity was considered a study break for the students as they prepare for today's practical portion of their Dental Hygiene board exam. The activity gave students a chance to interact informally with Smith − and get some last words of encouragement before the exam. ( Photo provided by Office of Residence Life) Marie G.
