href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/alliedhealth\/program\/dental-assisting\/\">Dental Assisting<\/a>, junior <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/alliedhealth\/program\/dental-hygiene\/\">Dental Hygiene<\/a>, and senior <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/alliedhealth\/program\/dental-hygiene\/\">Dental Hygiene<\/a> programs made connections beyond the chair at the Dental Mentorship Mixer, bridging the gap between programs as they shared experiences, exchanged insights, and learned from one another.<\/p>\n<p>Once in the field, dental practitioners need to understand each professional’s role to support teamwork, communication, and quality patient care.<\/p>\n<p>“As a professor, one of my favourite parts of this event is seeing the conversations unfold and the connections being made,” said Leeza Dougherty, professor in the School of Allied Health – Health Sciences. “It is wonderful to see students from different programs building friendships, supporting one another, and developing an appreciation for each other’s roles in the dental profession.”<\/p>\n<p>Small groups used conversation starters to get to know one another, ask questions, and learn about each other’s programs and future careers. Questions focused on stress management, work-life balance, helpful tools and strategies, preparing for evaluations, making the most of placements, and advice for students just starting out.<\/p>\n<p>In her second year of the Dental Hygiene program, Madilyn Torok of Welland returned to participate again this year, having also attended last year.<\/p>\n<p>Torok was surprised by the juniors’ confidence and eagerness, remembering her own first-year jitters.<\/p>\n<p>“I really enjoyed connecting with the junior Dental Hygiene students and the Dental Assistants. It was great to see them excited to start their program and wanting to do well,” said Torok. “The mentorship mixer was a great experience.”<\/p>\n<p>Dougherty underscored how important these relationships are as students enter their careers.<\/p>\n<p>“It is a great way to build a sense of community within our dental programs and encourage mentorship that extends beyond the classroom,” said Dougherty.<\/p>\n<p>Having already completed a significant number of clinical placement hours and experience in a long-term care home setting, Torok was able to offer practical advice and encouragement to her peers while gaining a better understanding of the importance of each profession in dental practice.<\/p>\n<p>“As someone who focuses on Dental Hygiene, I often forget that Dental Assistants do a lot of work that I am not familiar with,” she said. “It is important to understand that we all have separate roles that help make client care possible.”<\/p>\n<div data-carousel-extra='{\"blog_id\":53,\"permalink\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.niagaracollege.ca\\\/insidenc\\\/2026\\\/10\\\/27\\\/dental-students-explore-collaborative-care-at-mixer-style-networking-event\\\/\"}' class=\"tiled-gallery type-square\" data-original-width=\"660\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery-item\"><a border=\"0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/2026\/10\/27\/dental-students-explore-collaborative-care-at-mixer-style-networking-event\/img_8222\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1697881\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/10\/IMG_8222.webp\" data-orig-size=\"733,550\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_8222\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/10\/IMG_8222-300x225.webp\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/10\/IMG_8222.webp\" style=\"margin: 2px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/10\/IMG_8222-325x325.webp\" width=325 height=325 title=\"IMG_8222\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery-item\"><a border=\"0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/2026\/10\/27\/dental-students-explore-collaborative-care-at-mixer-style-networking-event\/20260928_124150\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1697882\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/10\/20260928_124150.webp\" data-orig-size=\"733,550\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}\" data-image-title=\"20260928_124150\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/10\/20260928_124150-300x225.webp\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/10\/20260928_124150.webp\" style=\"margin: 2px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/10\/20260928_124150-325x325.webp\" width=325 height=325 title=\"20260928_124150\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<p>Torok’s academic journey, from Social Service Worker to Dental Office Administration, Pre-Health Sciences, and now Dental Hygiene, is marked by her passion for helping others.<\/p>\n<p>“I understand that a lot of people don’t like going to dental offices for several reasons, but I hope to create a safe space for everyone and help them enjoy receiving oral hygiene care.”<\/p>\n<p>Jacob Kvacica, from Niagara Falls, came to the Dental Hygiene program after completing a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology with a focus on Criminology. Initially interested in serving vulnerable populations, including newcomers to Canada and international foreign workers, Kvacica found that limited opportunities during the pandemic led him to explore a different path.<\/p>\n<p>Now a senior in the program, Kvacica has channeled his desire to serve his community into an interest in healthcare, with a particular interest in supporting underserved populations in rural and Indigenous communities and through the Region’s public health programs.<\/p>\n<p>“[Dental Hygiene] was a measurable and in-demand way to serve and find purpose.”<\/p>\n<div data-carousel-extra='{\"blog_id\":53,\"permalink\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.niagaracollege.ca\\\/insidenc\\\/2026\\\/10\\\/27\\\/dental-students-explore-collaborative-care-at-mixer-style-networking-event\\\/\"}' class=\"tiled-gallery type-square\" data-original-width=\"660\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery-item\"><a border=\"0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/2026\/10\/27\/dental-students-explore-collaborative-care-at-mixer-style-networking-event\/img_8971\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1697883\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/10\/IMG_8971-e1793113148159.webp\" data-orig-size=\"550,436\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_8971\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/10\/IMG_8971-e1793113148159-300x238.webp\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/10\/IMG_8971-e1793113148159.webp\" style=\"margin: 2px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/10\/IMG_8971-e1793113148159-325x325.webp\" width=325 height=325 title=\"IMG_8971\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery-item\"><a border=\"0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/2026\/10\/27\/dental-students-explore-collaborative-care-at-mixer-style-networking-event\/20260928_124113\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1697884\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/10\/20260928_124113.webp\" data-orig-size=\"733,550\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}\" data-image-title=\"20260928_124113\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/10\/20260928_124113-300x225.webp\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/10\/20260928_124113.webp\" style=\"margin: 2px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/10\/20260928_124113-325x325.webp\" width=325 height=325 title=\"20260928_124113\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<p>Kvacica says his experience making pottery and ceramic art has proven to be a “surprisingly transferrable skill” in dental hygiene, where precision and manual dexterity are essential.<\/p>\n<p>As a senior student, Kvacica has also enjoyed paying it forward by supporting new students during their first few weeks in the program.

Pick has worked at the Welland Campus for her co-op since May 2026.<\/p>\n<p>“The experience overall was absolutely life changing,” said Pick who returned to school to pursue landscaping after over a decade in floral design, having previously studied Interior Design.<\/p>\n<p>In spring, Pick focused on preparing garden beds for new growth. Her work included clearing leaves and fallen branches, cutting back plants, pulling weeds, trimming and mowing the grass.<\/p>\n<p>“I feel the freedom of the outdoors, the fruits of my labor in front of me growing…I love being on the campus, I love being outside, and I love keeping up with the seasons and discovering more about the campus.”<\/p>\n<p>During the summer, Pick’s responsibilities shifted to removing bulbs and planting seasonal annuals and ornamental foliage plants, including SunPatiens, geraniums, ornamental kale, cordyline and sweet alyssum. She also helped water and fertilize the gardens, spending much of her day operating a tractor to maintain the extensive campus grounds.<\/p>\n<p>“Training on the Kubota fleet was so exciting,” said Pick. “The tractor was the most exciting. Learning to use all the equipment professionally is an amazing transferrable skill.”<\/p>\n<p>More than equipment, Pick says she learned a lot from the FMS team.<\/p>\n<p>“I really have to thank my supervisors and managers for trusting all of us students with building our confidence, making mistakes, learning from them to be able to achieve the success the NC grounds achieved this summer.”<\/p>\n<p>Pick’s co-op continues until December alongside a new crop of co-op students.<\/p>\n<p>“The weather doesn’t bother me, and I’ll see you outside.”<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1696451\" style=\"width: 743px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1696451\" class=\"wp-image-1696451 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/10\/nathan_sousa-e1792776543369.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"733\" height=\"417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/10\/nathan_sousa-e1792776543369.webp 733w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/10\/nathan_sousa-e1792776543369-300x171.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/10\/nathan_sousa-e1792776543369-633x360.webp 633w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/10\/nathan_sousa-e1792776543369-396x225.webp 396w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/10\/nathan_sousa-e1792776543369-180x102.webp 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 733px) 100vw, 733px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1696451\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The FMS Team when alum Nathan Sousa (third from the left) was a student.<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><strong>NC co-op helps student find his “true calling” as a landscaper \u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>For Welland native and alum Nathan Sousa (Graphic Design, 2024; Landscape Technician Co-op, 2026) a summer co-op at NC’s Welland Campus in 2023 sparked an unexpected career change while he was studying Graphic Design.<\/p>\n<p>After his mother, Lucy Sousa, who retired from her role at NC in 2025, spotted an advertisement for a summer position with the FMS team, Sousa landed the job and quickly discovered a passion for working outdoors.<\/p>\n<p>“I remember thinking to myself at multiple points throughout my first summer working that ‘how could I ever work in an office when I could be doing this instead?'”<\/p>\n<p>After his first summer, Sousa stayed on as a student worker, using the opportunity to explore his next steps with his supervisors.<\/p>\n<p>Sousa initially enrolled in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/environment\/program\/horticulture-technician\/\">Horticulture Technician program<\/a> before transferring to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/environment\/program\/horticulture-technician-landscape\/\">Landscape Technician<\/a> his second year where he could focus more on machine literacy and the practical, installation side of landscaping.<\/p>\n<p>“This proved to be a good decision… because I am now working for a private company where I do a plethora of landscape tasks daily, including machine work,” said Sousa, who works at GGS Landscaping Niagara in Niagara Falls, owned by fellow NC alum Graham Boaretti (Landscape Technician Co-op, 2013).<\/p>\n<p>Sousa credits the FMS team for their mentorship.<\/p>\n<p>“The advice and perspective I received while working on the grounds shaped how I work in the industry and the techniques I learned I use daily.”<\/p>\n<p>Sousa says the opportunity to work with the FMS team helped him find his “true calling as a landscaper.”<\/p>\n<p>“The opportunity given to me by NC to work on the FMS Team opened a door I never would’ve knocked on and with the guidance of the people above me while working there, I was able to see that continuing my education was the right move for my career.”<\/p>\n<p>The Grounds Working Group is exploring opportunities to expand student experiences across both NC campuses, with their diverse ecological environments offering unique learning opportunities. The group, co-chaired by Evan DiValentino, Dean, Business & Environment, and Bill Rainey, Senior Director, Facilities Management, Planning, Sustainability and Capital Projects, is in early discussions
