We had a socially distant trophy ceremony this week to crown our Survival of the Cutest winner from spring quarter! Enloe Hunt, a cancer sniffing dog at Enloe Medical Center owned by the family of Carson Hunt from the Class of 2022, beat 31 other pets to win the title of cutest pet of the school (for now)! @carsonhunt accepted the trophy on behalf of @enloe_the_dog and promised to give him lots of good boy pats. We had lots of fun putting on this fully virtual fundraiser last quarter and raised just over $600 to donate to No Kill Los Angeles to help end shelter killings and help animals in need. Thank you to all who played and we hope everyone will play next time! #asdafever #asdaucla #godentalbruins

When I look back at all of my memories in dental school, when I reflect on how I have grown, as a dental student, future health care provider, and just simply as a person, so much of my growth can be attributed to my involvement and experiences through ASDA. These are the words of ASDA immediate past president Tarek Kassem in our UCLA ASDA blog. Tarek has taken the time in our blog to reflect on the past year as president and the year ASDA has had. The link for our blog is in our bio (via linktree) so please go take a look at Tarek’s wise words! Linktr.ee/UCLA_ASDA
