NSU’s ASDA Chapter Wins Community Service Award

NSU’s College of Dental Medicine American Student Dental Association (ASDA) Chapter won the District 5 Community Service Award out of seven dental schools from the district held during the ASDA Annual District Five Conference in Tampa on January 7-8, 2023.

The members of ASDA took part in hosting beach clean ups, a clothing drive that donated more than 20 bags of donations to the migrant workers of Homestead via the Care Closet of Caring for Miami.

In addition to these community services events, many of our members dedicated their Saturdays to serving the underserved by volunteering with the mobile dental unit of Caring for Miami and also participating in numerous Remote Area Medical mission trips.

Mary Victoria Wick, M.P.H., NSU College of Dental Medicine, Class of 2024 and Vice President of American Student Dental Association has received the District 5 nomination for the ASDA National Community Builder of the Year Award.

This new ASDA award is being presented for the first time this year. This award recognizes dental students from across the country who dedicate themselves to serving others through community service and dental outreach. Out of ASDA’s 11 nominations from each district, one person will receive this National Community Builder of the Year Award. During the week of Service, the recipient of the National Community Builder of the Year Award will be announced.
