What Are ASB Committees?
ASB committees are a cornerstone of the resources that ASB provides and offer various opportunities for leadership, service, and connection. Committee chair positions are available for certain committees which you can use to build leadership skills and your resume. Dental students are busy, so committee members are not expected to put in a significant amount of work although they are expected to be reliable and consistent.
If you have an idea for a committee you would like to create, email us at ucla.sod.asb@gmail.com.
