Connect. Support. Advance

It’s our longstanding goal to promote, aid and support the academic and social environment of minority dental students.

Let’s Go Further Together!

Since 1970, SNDA has been dedicated to increasing the presence of minorities in the dental field.

As President, I work alongside our national executive team to implement my strategic plan for the 2022-23 year entitled: Go Further Together. This title originates from one of my favorite quotes, “If you want to go fast go, alone. If you want to go far, go together.” With this spirit of collaboration and intentionality, this year’s core initiatives will create impactful learning spaces designed for the personal, social, and professional growth of our members. Our approach will be vision-oriented, strategic, and measurable, always keeping our core values of integrity, service, and excellence at the forefront.
