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 62 U.S. dental schools. Highlights include an exhibit fair; sessions on hot topics like licensure and midlevel providers; awards recognizing chapter and member achievements; House of Delegates meeting and elections of national leaders. The meeting concludes with a celebratory dinner dance.
