Kaskaskia College announced that its Dental Assisting and Radiology Clubs have received a $1,250 grant from the South Central Illinois Area Health Education Center.  This center exposes the area youth to the many rewarding health care career opportunities that are available.  These opportunities are introduced through classroom presentations, science fairs, school-based health career clubs, junior volunteer programs, career fairs, rural health career camps, job shadowing, internships and career resources.  The Awards may be used for any club activity that will enrich or enhance undergraduate curriculum in the area of health professions.  All winners must arrange and provide a 30 minute health career presentation to a SCI-AJHEC area junior or high school class, club or camp.  The Radiology Club will use the money to help pay for their annual trip to the Illinois State Society of Radiologic Technologists Conference to be held in Peoria.  The Dental Assisting Club will use the grant money to help pay travel expenses to Chicago for the Chicago Midwinter Dental Meeting where the club will visit the dental exhibit hall to learn about dental products and attend a seminar training course, just for dental assistants, that gives them hands on experience on new dental products.
