School of Dentistry students kick off summer session with ASDA Fever Week

The summer session at UTHealth Houston School of Dentistry began with a spirited celebration, as the school’s American Student Dental Association chapter hosted its annual Fever Week in early June.
The four-day celebration, held June 2-5, featured a unique event each day designed to welcome students and foster a sense of community.
On June 2, “Saddle Up!” invited students to strike a pose at a selfie station to put their best smile forward for the first day of the summer term.
The following day, June 3, students participated in “Lasso A Smile,” a card-making event. Gathered around tables with markers and stickers, students crafted handwritten messages and illustrations for children patients in the Texas Medical Center. The heartfelt cards featured cartoon-like teeth, flowers, and positive affirmations, extending messages of care and kindness beyond campus.
Early risers on June 4 were treated to “Rise ’N Shine,” a grab-and-go breakfast of bagels, muffins, and assorted pastries designed to fuel them for a full day of classes and labs.
Fever Week wrapped up on June 5 with two events. At midday, students enjoyed a creative break during a lunch-hour cactus painting session. Later that evening, they gathered on blankets at Menil Park in Houston to relax and connect over pizza and refreshments during the summer evening.
