STUDENTS’ BRILLIANCE SHINES ON THROUGH MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIPS

DENTAL HYGIENE RECEIVES PANORAMIC MACHINE
Doreen and James Pienkowski of South Bend were in the perfect situation to help the IU South Bend¹s Dental Education program.

The program desperately needed a new panoramic X-ray machine. This device, which is used to take a full range of jaw and facial X-rays to determine existing and potential conditions, is important for dental education and for patients who can¹t afford the procedure in local dentists’ offices. Patients are often referred to IU South Bend for the tests. Full story.

     
   

LOCAL BUSINESS OWNER DONATES TO NONTRADITIONAL SCHOLARSHIP
Rocky Geans is on the path of finishing a degree in business along with managing his construction firm, L.L. Geans Co. of Mishawaka. “When I went to class, I saw students, many of them women, raising a family and working. My heart goes out to them. They are really trying to go out there and get an education without a lot of support.” Full story.
