The AASV Student Recruitment Committee is pleased to announce the selection of Hunter Everett, a second-year veterinary student at North Carolina State University (NCSU), as the incoming Alternate Student Delegate to the AASV Board of Directors.
Hunter’s interest in swine began with a student job on the NCSU 200 sow farrow-to-finish farm where he was employed throughout college. His growing interest in swine led him to hold internships and externships in production and research within multiple different systems. As a member of the Pork Checkoff’s Student Social Forces program, he advocated for the pork industry within his animal science network and beyond. Since joining AASV as a first-year veterinary student, he has been selected for two oral presentations in the AASV student seminar (2021, 2022).
Because of his experiences in swine production and research, coupled with strong mentorship, Hunter has a firm commitment to pursuing a career in swine medicine.
Hunter is looking forward to connecting with students and members. He said, "I’m so excited to work with and learn more about AASV over the next two years. I can’t wait to meet and work with other students, members, and future colleagues at this year’s meeting!"
Hunter will assume his duties as Alternate Student Delegate during the 2022 AASV Annual Meeting. The current alternate delegate, Sydney Simmons (NCSU, 2023), will assume the delegate position currently held by Amanda Anderson (Iowa State, 2022), who will rotate off the board. Sydney and Hunter will represent student interests within AASV as non-voting members of the Board of Directors and the Student Recruitment Committee. Please join us in welcoming Hunter to the AASV Board of Directors and thanking Amanda for her service!
