SOD ASDA Chapter Wins Again

Our Minnesota ASDA Chapter has won national accolades…again. For the second year in a row, the U of M Chapter of the American Student Dental Association (ASDA) received the “Ideal ASDA Chapter Award” at the organization’s 36th annual meeting held in Baltimore, MD. Minnesota’s chapter president, Ryan Ritchie and eight Minnesota ASDA members accepted the award, the most prestigious presented to an individual ASDA chapter.
