research to further post-graduate education to outreach, mentor and recruit under-represented
students into dentistry
Overview of Events: ACADEMIA
What Matters to Me and Why Allow professors the
opportunity to speak at a casual lunch hour about how they picked dentistry as a profession, their personal lives and family, what they enjoy, and what makes them happy overall
Incredibly successful event, usually “SRO,” other faculty members come out to support their colleagues

ADEA Student Chapter at UCSF Board2009-2010
Relations with ASDA ASDA has difficulties at our school because their fee is
not included in tuition ADEA is Free! (but ASDA is richer…) Have had problems in the past
E.g. ASDA tried to use unprofessional means to attract members
Sometimes, times of events clash Improved relations
Work together to put on D1/D2 tutorials Have done outreach events together Go to Lobby Day together
Important to establish events as yearly so no other RCO can “steal” idea
Have been good to collaborate with other orgs like SNDA
Travel to National Meetings Fall Meetings
President, Vice-president, any national positions Spring Meetings
President, Vice-president, 2 D1’s (usually D1 rep and Outreach Coordinator), 1-2 general student body members For general student body – ask for LOI and vote on
attendees at board meeting Others: Depend on finances (usually take ~10)
Funding awarded from our “associated dental students” board In order to obtain funding, must invite others than
just officers
For those struggling chapters out there…
Establish a specific mission statement and plan events according to that.
Obtain a solid leadership board that knows their responsibilities and lives up to them
Come up with a handful of yearly events that are unique and attractive to the student body Set yourself apart from the other student organizations Students like anything that will enrich their dental
experience: interaction with faculty, help with school, more info about specializing, grand-scale outreach, FOOD
Faculty Advisor – ask for help and support! Advertise, advertise, advertise!
