Griffith University Dental Students Association (GUDSA)

Griffith University Dental Students Association (GUDSA)

GUDSA was established in 2004 along with the opening of the Griffith University's School Dentistry and Oral Health, and became a formal non-profit student organisation in 2012. Based in the Gold Coast, GUDSA is the only such student body that represents both Dentistry and Oral Health Students at Griffith University, providing important support and opportunities for students to learn, share knowledge, and socialise during their time at university. GUDSA is responsible for organising many events and activities throughout the academic year for students including social events, sporting competitions and educational seminars. GUDSA has always been run by students for the students. We aim to help our students grow and mature into the type of dentist they want to be, whilst enjoying the university life others could only wish of having. Each of our committees help our students grow in one form or the other. Our Goals include; a) Helps our students to meet like minded people, and help them become more outgoing and enjoy the fun! b) Builds strong relationships through shared passion of physical activity - teaches better teamwork abilities and great way to meet others. c) Enhance a student's knowledge on what companies there are in the real world that can help make their lives easier. ​ d) Polishes off knowledge by bringing in guest speakers to lecture and/or run workshops on interesting topics that builds on top of what the school teaches you! This team also helps to ensure you pass your exams and feel more confident in your dental abilities.
