What current and past members have to say:

	“ASDA has taught me to become a more efficient dental student by increasing my time management skills and ability to delegate." - Thadler Schroeder, Kentucky ’14
	"Dental school is not just about studying and hand skills. ASDA has made me realize that it is also about networking and forming relationships. Find a mentor at your school. Make connections with professors. For now you are a student, but you will be colleagues for much longer. Get personal." - Carolyn Norton, Florida ’14
	“ASDA has opened my eyes to a world of networking, opportunities, challenges and goals. This has led me to push myself, achieve benchmarks I thought I never could do and become a leader on a whole different level I thought never existed. I have never fathomed the idea that there could be such an organized and unified organization fighting for the same cause... I am proud to say I am involved." - Jason Watts, Nova Southeastern ’15
	“I've been able to meet with our dean, state senators and ADA trustees – all through my involvement with ASDA.” - Dusty Pfundheller, Florida ’13
	“Dental education can teach you how to prepare a tooth, but there is much to learn about dentistry outside the walls of a classroom. ASDA teaches us how to advocate for the profession we love.” - Kallie Law, Alabama ’12
	“I have met amazing people through ASDA who have become some of my best friends, both on a local level and national level. The bond forms quickly because we have so many common interests. In addition, many of my volunteer and outreach experiences have been rooted in ASDA.” - Brittany Sonnichsen, Connecticut ’12
