Here are the minutes from the Board meeting on 9/17/11: ASDA Board 9-7-11 (PDF)

Give Kids a Smile day is always a wonderful experience for students at Columbia, and this year’s participation was incredibly impressive, with over 100 students pitching in to help kids around northern Manhattan.

Thanks to everyone who volunteered!  Special thanks to Bari for coordinating & Leydis for organizing the entire day!

It’s official, only 1 month until ASDA Annual Session in Anaheim, CA!

Keep an eye out for the latest Columbia Crown newsletter, set to hit your inboxes in the coming week!  Articles featured include an interview with Garrick Alex, a national ADEA board member, the latest political & legislative news affecting dentistry, Crest Healthy Smiles & getting involved with community service, dental education & curriculum reform, and ethics!  Happy Reading!

Congratulations to Alexandra Malebranche, our Editor-in-Chief, for her story in this quarter’s MOUTH magazine, a publication by the national ASDA office.  Alex takes a look at society’s changing opinions about the beauty and esthetics of the smile in her article entitled Celebrity Smiles. Be sure to check it out—a benefit of your ASDA membership is a subscription to all of ASDA & the ADA’s publications!

Happy new year and welcome to the new website for the Columbia University chapter of ASDA! More content is in the process of being added so please bear with us. If you have any questions or would like to see something here, please email me at jdb2147@columbia.edu.
