Olivia Wesley
Opportunities both inside and outside of the classroom led Olivia Wesley to Owens Community College. This year, the Board of Trustees recognized her for exceptional student leadership and student life involvement. “There have been so many opportunities to get involved and I really feel Owens was the best option for me,” Wesley said.
Wesley, a Toledo School for the Arts graduate, said the Dental Hygiene Program was the primary reason she knew Owens would be the right fit. Once she was on campus, the faculty supported her and her journey in the program. “The program, both faculty and students, are all hardworking and passionate individuals and they have inspired me throughout my journey here at Owens,” said Wesley.
The May 2022 Dental Hygiene graduate has held both the Vice President and President positions for the American Dental Hygiene Association student chapter. She is currently about to implement a program that involves providing free dental screenings and referrals to over 30 3-year-old children in the Toledo area. She took on the project without hesitation and hopes it creates a legacy for the program.
Upon graduation, Wesley plans to stay in the area and work within the community.
