FLORIDA COMMUNITY COLLEGE JANUARY 1988 AT JACKSONVILLE V0.31... UTLQOJ Recruitment Efforts Increase Student Enrollment More than 5,000 high school students and their parents recently attended Duval County Public School's annual College Night held for the first time at FCCJ’s South Campus gym. Representatives from more than 160 col— leges and universities set up booths with information on college admission, student life, programs of study, expenses and finan' cial aid. College Night ’87 was one of the most succcssful recruitment efforts that FCC]’S Admissions and Student Aid Office has participated in to reach potential students. FCCJ’s recruitment efforts are designed to target three main groups: high school students, adult/nontraditional students and black students. FCC] representatives routinely visit high schools in Duval and Nassau County and are often invited to make presentations to local businesses, participate in mall events and serve as guest speakers for community and civic organizations. “We’re creating very positive relationships with high school guidance counselors and principals to be sure that students are aware of the Opportunities at FCCJ," said Susan Chappell, admissions officer. ”We're also working with staff development offices in the business community to encourage employees to take advantage of thcir tuition reimbursement plans." In addition, financial aid information is more available to prospective students at each campus as a result of last year’s reorganization and the merger between the Admissions and Student Aid offices, said Chappell.

For most patients, one appointment is Often sufficient, but some people may re— quire two or more, depending on the condi— tion of teeth and other factors. Dental hygiene students in the North Campus clinic perform all services, but each process on every patient is carefully supervised by a dental instructor. To main— tain the highest level of cleanliness and sterilization possible, the hygienist wears a face mask, gloves and goggles.

If a patient is under a doctor’s care, or has a heart problem, or is on any type of medication, the dental clinic needs to know prior to the appointment. If under a doctor’s care, the patient must bring a release from the doctor before receiving treatment in the clinic. The dental clinic welcomes all inquiries. So, just pick up your phone and make an appointment for free or low‘cost quality ser— vices that are vital to good health.
