ASB is the official student-run organization at UCLA SOD that represents the interests and voice of the student population. We meet with faculty, advocate for students' interests, oversee various clubs and committees, and host events to further the wellbeing of our community.
We seek to best represent students accurately and for their best interest, and students are always our number one priority. Throughout the year, we host various socials and community events to celebrate our students' achievements and give back to our students.
The purpose of our organization is to:
Further cooperation among students and between staff, faculty, and students
Serve the interests of students of the UCLA School of Dentistry
Promote educational excellence at the UCLA School of Dentistry
Our motto is "Cooperation, Service, Excellence", and we strive to uphold these values everyday.
ASB seeks to represent the student voice to administration, and your ASB cabinet is committed to serving you. This anonymous feedback form was made for you to express uncomfortable incidents that you may have experienced with faculty, administration, and students. We ensure that your confidentiality will be maintained, and these complaints will remain 100% anonymous. Responses will be relayed to Dr. Lee and the Office of Student Services for handling of matters, and updates will be given to the best of our ability.
We also would love to hear about any ways you feel like your experience as a student can be improved! Filling out the form works great, but you can also always email us with your thoughts. Again, all responses will remain confidential.
