Mission Statement:
The Hispanic Student Dental Association at USC is an organization that aims to create a unified voice for dental students and faculty, and seeks to promote and advocate the oral health issues of the Hispanic community in California. HSDA at USC volunteers at a wide variety of events such as school and local health fairs. We provide oral hygiene instructions as well as oral screenings at these events. In addition, we provide monthly Spanish classes for our fellow classmates. We advocate for the advancement of oral health within the Latino communities by working closely with HDA nationally, and by attending national conferences. We also love to build a strong alumni network through social events and fundraisers to support our members to go to conferences.
