Looking to pursue a future in veterinary medicine? Students from across the region are invited to join the West Virginia University Davis-Michael Scholars and the West Virginia Veterinary Medical Association for the 16th annual Veterinary Career Day.
This educational event is scheduled for Saturday, October 4, from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Erickson Alumni Center in Morgantown.
Veterinary Career Day will feature a series of short presentations from a variety of veterinary professionals and will allow attendees to interact one-on-one with presenters and educators. Faculty from the WVU Davis College of Agriculture and Natural Resources will be present to discuss the Davis-Michael Scholars program.
An overview of the West Virginia Veterinary Medicine: Tuition Contract Program for West Virginia residents also will be presented.
The free event is open to students in middle school through college interested in learning more about veterinary medicine. Parents, high school teachers, counselors, college advisors, and local veterinarians also are welcome to attend.
Registration forms must be completed online by October 1 and can be found at DavisMichael.wvu.edu. All attendees and accompanying parents or guests must register individually.
The Davis-Michael Scholars program was made possible through a generous bequest from two Morgantown sisters, Gladys Gwendolyn Davis and Vivian Davis Michael, who desired to foster quality veterinary care in West Virginia. The Davis-Michael Scholars program was established to support the pre-veterinary medicine major Animal and Nutritional Sciences and has awarded more than $9 million in student scholarships since 2001.
