The American Student Dental Association (ASDA) is a national student-run organization that protects and advances the rights, interests and welfare of dental students. It introduces students to lifelong involvement in organized dentistry and provides services, information, education, representation and advocacy.

ASDA’s Annual Session brings together student leaders from 60+ U.S. dental schools. Highlights include an exhibit fair, prominent speakers within dentistry addressing hot topics, awards recognizing chapter and member achievements, the business meeting of the House of Delegates and elections of national leaders. The meeting concludes with a celebratory dinner dance.
