Student Services
The School of Dentistry encourages its students to avail themselves of cultural opportunities within the university and the community.
Each class has its own student organization which is governed by the students, with advice from the dental school's Office of Student Services and other teaching staff when such advice is requested.
The Student Council is an organization representing the entire student body whose purpose is to advance the interests of the students of the School of Dentistry and the university.
Students of the School of Dentistry share in university athletics, participating in interclass, interdepartmental, and intercollegiate contests in various activities.
The School of Dentistry has chapters of three of the national dental student fraternities: Alpha Omega, Delta Sigma Delta, and Psi Omega. Students of all classes are eligible for student membership in the American Dental Association.
The American Student Dental Association (ASDA) is a student organization of approximately 20,000 individual predoctoral and postdoctoral members organized into chapters-one at each of the U.S. dental schools. The ASDA is committed to the following:
- Developing and training future leaders of the dental profession
- Improving the quality of dental education
- Disseminating information of value to dental students
- Promoting the social, moral, and ethical obligations of the profession
- Ensuring due process for all dental students
- Representing dental students before legislative bodies and organizations
- Providing opportunities for students and recent graduates to deliver health care to people in areas of need.
The local chapter at Case Western Reserve University, representing more than 90 percent of the dental students, provides benefits that include:
- Five professional publications
- Reprints of national dental board examinations
- Insurance at low group rates (disability/major medical, equipment, professional liability, term life insurance)
- Reduced ADA dues upon graduation.
