Logan Coe is a rising star in the world of pre-dental studies. Recently named the recipient of the 2025 Dr. Michael Krochak Pre-Dental Scholarship, Logan’s passion for dentistry stems from a unique blend of science and art. Raised by artist parents, he was naturally drawn to a field that merges creativity with precision. Logan impressed the scholarship committee with his creativity in his essay, where he wrote, "By combining empathy, a passion for challenges, a commitment to the balance of art and science, and a desire to build meaningful relationships with my patients, I aim to create a practice that surpasses both my own expectations and those of my community." His award-winning essay beautifully compared the different types of teeth and their functions to the many reasons he aspires to be a dentist—recognizing not only the role of oral health in overall well-being but also the power of a confident smile.
At LSU, Logan excels as a student, but his impact extends through leadership, research, and community service. The LSU College of Science PreHealth Advising, Support, and Education (PHASE) program provides students, like Logan, with a strong academic foundation and the flexibility to tailor their education to their interests and career goals.
