A NOTE from the president
Welcome to UK ASDA!
As the American Student Dental Association at the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry, we’re committed to being more than just a student organization—we are your resource for personal and professional growth both inside and outside of the classroom. As the largest student group at UKCD and a proud part of a national network of over 24,000 dental students across the country, ASDA is a powerful tool to help you learn, connect, and lead.
Our mission is to provide you with all the resources needed to:
Maximize Your Membership: Learn about the benefits of joining ASDA and why continued membership in organized dentistry—like the American Dental Association (ADA) and the Kentucky Dental Association (KDA)—is essential to your career development.
Stay Informed: Stay up-to-date on legislation that impacts dentists and dental students, and discover how you can make your voice heard on important issues that shape the future of the profession.
Network and Grow: Get involved in a dynamic organization that offers opportunities to connect with fellow dental students, companies, and professionals. From educational events to fun social gatherings, we provide a well-rounded experience that helps you grow in all aspects of your dental career.
As your 2024-2025 ASDA President, I am beyond excited to lead this chapter and continue building on the incredible work we’ve done so far. Being part of ASDA isn’t just about what you can get—it's about what you can give, too. It’s about becoming a leader, both locally and nationally, and shaping the future of our profession. I am truly excited for the opportunities that lie ahead and the chance to help all of you grow into the best versions of yourselves.
Let’s make this year unforgettable!
Victoria Crane
Kentucky ASDA President
