Our 2025 Scholarship Recipient
Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College
Logan Coe
The 2025 Dr. Michael Krochak Pre Dental Scholarship recipient impressed us by his creativity in his essay, comparing the various types of teeth and their functions to the various reasons he wants to be a dentist. Raised by two artists, he was quickly drawn to dentistry due to its "symbiotic relationship between the arts and sciences." Logan also recognized the role of teeth to the full function of one's body and health. He further recognized the power of a smile to one's confidence as well as the close relationships dentists form with their patients. He concludes in his essay stating, "Through a combination of empathy, a yearning for challenges, a devotion to the duality of the arts and sciences, and a hope to establish a special relationship with my patients, my practice will meet and hopefully exceed my own expectations along with those of my community."
