The AASV Student Engagement Committee is pleased to announce the selection of Molly Jones, a second-year veterinary student at North Carolina State University (NCSU), as the incoming alternate student delegate to the AASV Board of Directors.
As described by her faculty advisor, Molly has dedicated her career to gaining considerable experience in swine production. During the academic year, she worked at the NCSU swine farm. During the summer months, she participated in internships in swine production, research, and medicine. Molly presented her research at the 2024 AASV Annual Meeting, and she will present again during the 2025 AASV Annual Meeting in San Francisco.
During her undergraduate education, Molly was active in the animal science club, where she organized events that connected students with industry professionals and led the club in multiple officer positions. Recognized as a rising star in the NCSU student AASV chapter, she is an active member and the current wetlab coordinator.
In her upcoming role, Molly hopes to foster engagement and strengthen connections among veterinary students and the AASV.
Molly will assume her duties as the alternate student delegate during the 2025 AASV Annual Meeting. The current alternate delegate, Mallory Wilhelm (ISU, 2026), will assume the delegate position currently held by Alexis Berte (ISU, 2025), who will rotate off the board. Mallory and Molly will represent student interests within AASV as nonvoting members of the Board of Directors and the Student Engagement Committee. Please join us in welcoming Molly to the AASV Board of Directors and thanking Alexis for her service!
