SAVMA Symposium 2008

About twenty-five students from the VMRCVM represented the school at this year’s SAVMA Symposium in Alabama. At the Symposium students could attend lectures; labs; take part in academic challenges; take part in sport challenges; visit local tourist attractions and tour Auburn & Tuskegee veterinary schools. In the evening attendees could attend social events which enabled them to interact with veterinarian students from other schools.

We would like to thank our generous sponsors: Hill’s, DCVMA, MVMA, VVMA, Fort Dodge Animal Health, VCA and Purina.
