The Student Government Association (SGA) is the overarching body for all College of Dental Medicine student clubs, as well as the governing body for Student Class Council (each classes’ elected officers). Students are encouraged to be active in SGA. The College of Dental Medicine is an auto-enroll school for the American Student Dental Association; a part of your annual student activity fees go towards ASDA membership dues. All predoctoral CDM students are members of ASDA. ASDA focuses on organized dentistry and offers students many opportunities to become involved at national and local levels. The Student Government Association plans many school-wide events and provides support to the student clubs and class councils.
