ASDOH graduates second orthodontic class

ATSU’s Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health’s Orthodontic department celebrated the graduation of its second class of residents at the University Club in Phoenix, Ariz. on Friday, Aug. 12.

The day began with presentations from the four residents; Brandon Johnson, Michael Bowen, Celeste Pokorney, and Kelsey Peterson. Later the residents enjoyed a dinner with family, faculty, and staff in celebration of their achievements. The residents received their certificate in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics.

“Being only our second graduating class, their constructive feedback was instrumental in shaping the program into what it has and will become,” said Alyssa Levin, clinical director, orthodontic program. “Each student brought with them a different background and a different set of strengths, and yet in spite of their differences they had an exceptionally cohesive dynamic. They will be greatly missed, but we wish them well as they venture out to start a new chapter.”
