The ADEA Council of Students, Residents and Fellows consists of students representing any of the predoctoral dental programs, advanced dental educational programs, dental hygiene educational programs, dental assisting educational programs, and dental laboratory technology educational programs at ADEA member institutions.

ADEA believes that the active participation of its members is an invaluable asset to the Association. The contributions of ADEA COSRF—such as the creation of the Junior Faculty Award—have made a significant mark in support of the ADEA strategic directions and core values. While ADEA endeavors to support its member institutions at the national level, the Association recognizes and appreciates the efforts of member institutions to further the ADEA core values and strategic directions at the local level.
