A Cherished Tradition

The Rites of Passage (RoP) ceremony is a longstanding SNDA tradition that celebrates our recently graduated members during the Scholarship Gala at our annual National Convention. This exciting segment of the gala gives spotlight to newly degreed doctors, acknowledging their contributions to the Student National Dental Association and their next professional steps. The RoP ceremony is only for confirmed national members of SNDA that are attending the annual Scholarship Gala. Congratulations to everyone honored at SNDA54 in Richmond this year! If you're a graduating member who'd like to participate next year, please return here in May to complete the registration form, and become an SNDA member today so you don't miss the announcement.
