Students for Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity at UCLA (SIDE)

Students for Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity at UCLA (SIDE) Logo

SIDE stands for Students for Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity at UCLA. This student-initiated organization was created in 2020 to broaden the student awareness and understanding of systemic racism's role in health disparities and healthcare. We aim to provide education to the graduate and School of Dentistry communities so that we are not only aware of these issues but to challenge our own implicit biases. Our mission is twofold in that it also aims to create a safe space where students are heard, valued, respected and protected. This includes developing inclusive events, community service/mission trips to serve underrepresented groups, educational workshops via lunch and learns and promoting multicultural awareness, stewardship and celebration.
