Meet the team

President, Theo Ke

The Adelaide University Dental Students’ Society is a student-led organisation dedicated to representing and supporting Dental and Oral Health students at the University of Adelaide. For over a century, the society has fostered a strong sense of community, providing both academic and personal support while building meaningful connections with the wider community and dental industry. At its core, AUDSS is committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where students feel a genuine sense of belonging. Throughout the year, we deliver a diverse range of events spanning academic and professional development, volunteering opportunities, and social activities. We encourage all students to get involved and make the most of what the society has to offer—updates and event details can be found on our Facebook and Instagram pages. We are privileged to work alongside valued partners including the Adelaide Dental School, SA Dental Service, the Australian Dental Association (SA Branch), the Australian Dental Students Association, and the Adelaide University Rural Health Alliance. We also extend our sincere thanks to our sponsors, past and present, whose ongoing support plays a vital role in enabling our initiatives. Since beginning my journey in the Bachelor of Dental Surgery, AUDSS has been a constant source of support, connection, and opportunity. Becoming involved in the society felt like a natural progression, inspired by the guidance and encouragement I received from those before me. It is a privilege to now give back and help create the same positive experience for future students. I am truly honoured to serve as President of AUDSS and look forward to leading the society through another successful year. Behind everything we do is a passionate and dedicated team, committed to enhancing the student experience. We look forward to connecting with you and supporting you throughout your journey.
