While on campus, they visited the College of Health and Human Services to learn more about careers in healthcare. The Nutrition, Dental Hygiene, and Communication Sciences and Disorders programs all welcomed the students with hands-on activities to give them a chance to experience what a future healthcare career could look like.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their activity-filled day included scaling \u201cplaque\u201d off model teeth called typodonts with current undergraduate students from Dental Hygiene, viewing an ultrasound of students\u2019 vocal cords with graduate students studying to become speech-language pathologists, and conducting a blind taste test with nutrition experts.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heather Thomas, chair of the Department of Dental Hygiene, helped ensure the FUSD students not only learned but also had fun. \u201cIt is so important that we make an effort to inspire the future generation, especially with the dire need for healthcare providers in Arizona,\u201d says Thomas. \u201cThese students are the future of healthcare.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/college-health-human-services\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/1.png\" alt=\"FUSD Day.\" class=\"wp-image-8434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/316\/2024\/08\/1.png 1600w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/316\/2024\/08\/1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/316\/2024\/08\/1-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/316\/2024\/08\/1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/316\/2024\/08\/1-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/316\/2024\/08\/1-800x450.png 800w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/316\/2024\/08\/1-1200x675.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Contributed by Business Administration, Marketing undergraduate student, Katie Fahy<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, 80 seventh graders from Flagstaff Unified School District (FUSD) visited NAU\u2019s Flagstaff Mountain Campus to learn about life as a Lumberjack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":769,"featured_media":8445,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","_oasis_is_in_workflow":0,"_oasis_original":0,"_oasis_task_priority":"2normal","footnotes":""},"categories":[6,7,8,10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8432","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-college-of-health-and-human-services","category-communication-sciences-disorders","category-dental-hygiene","category-health-sciences"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/college-health-human-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8432","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/college-health-human-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/college-health-human-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/college-health-human-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/769"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/college-health-human-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8432"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/college-health-human-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8432\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8767,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/college-health-human-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8432\/revisions\/8767"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/college-health-human-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8445"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/college-health-human-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8432"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/college-health-human-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8432"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/college-health-human-services\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8432"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
