This past May, Hempfield High School (HHS) alumna Hannah Johnson was awarded Colby College’s 2021 Condon Medal. The Condon Medal honors a senior at Colby who exhibits the finest qualities of citizenship and has made the most significant contribution to the development of life at Colby. Established in 1920, the Condon Medal was made possible through the gift from Randall J. Condon, a member of Colby’s Class of 1886.

According to Johnson, the Condon Medal represents fully investing in the Colby community, which meant dedicating most of her time at Colby to helping students feel like they belong.

“I struggled finding my stride at this school at first, and it was truly the people around me who helped me find my authentic self here,” stated Johnson.

For many years, Johnson’s family has rented a lakefront house near Colby, located in Maine. When she attended HHS, Johnson ran crosscountry and needed to train over the summer. Johnson’s mother would drive her to Colby’s campus where she would run throughout the neighborhoods. When it came time for Johnson to apply to colleges, she applied to Colby on a whim and was accepted.

During her time at Colby, Johnson held several positions on campus. She was a class senator for the Student Government Association, a community adviser, an area residence director, a Lives of Purpose mentor, a volunteer scribe, a research assistant in the psychology department, and a front desk attendant at the Colby Museum of Art.

Several staff members at Colby made an impression on Johnson. “My adviser, Tarja Raag, was really like a motherly figure for me,” said Johnson. “I was also super inspired by two of my religious studies professors: Ryan Harper and David Freidenreich. They really challenged the ways I think about religion and how we understand the world around us.”

After graduating from Colby with a psychology major and religious studies minor, Johnson plans to attend medical school and become an OB/GYN.

“I think recognition like this is a bit overwhelming because so much of my life experiences are due to the support of so many people,” explained Johnson. “I share this award with everyone who’s been a part of my life throughout my journey at Colby!”

Because Your Smile Ma ers

Since 1987, specialists at Dr. Weibel Orthodon cs, 3019 Marie a Ave., Lancaster, have made it their mission to provide residents of Lancaster County with excep onal oral health care and beau ful smiles. Dr. Paul Weibel, one of the prac ce’s specialists, recently took steps to further that mission by becoming cer fi ed through the American Board of Orthodon cs (ABO).

Board cer fi ca on is a process that can take between fi ve and 10 years. In addi on to a aining his Doctor of Dental Medicine from the University of Pi sburgh School of Dental Medicine, Dr. Weibel successfully fi nished a voluntary, rigorous examina on process through the ABO while on orthodon c residency at Seton Hill University. The ABO is the only orthodon c specialty board recognized by the American Dental Associa on and the American Associa on of Orthodon sts.

Orthodon sts focus on the correct posi oning of teeth and jaws, while general den sts are ideal for providing regular oral health checkups. A very small percentage of den sts decide to become orthodon sts, and, according to the ABO, less than half of all orthodon sts take the voluntary step to become board-cer fi ed, which requires extensive educa on. Addi onally, SPONSORED CONTENT

board-cer fi ed orthodon sts stay up to date on the latest technology and treatments because they are required to renew their cer fi ca on every 10 years. Individuals who decide to see a board-cer fi ed orthodon st will receive the best oral health care possible, Dr. Weibel said.

Some of the treatment op ons available through Dr. Weibel Orthodon cs are clear and metal braces, palatal expanders, surgical orthodon cs, self-liga ng braces, Invisalign clear aligners, the iTero Digital Impression System, and i-CAT FLX cone beam 3D imaging.

Dr. Weibel said he considers orthodon cs to be the perfect blend of art and science, which come together to create beau ful, las ng smiles. He added that he is commi ed to using and expanding his knowledge to treat each pa ent like family.

Dr. Weibel grew up in Landisville and currently resides in Lancaster. In his free me, he enjoys hiking, jogging, playing board games, reading, and pain ng.
