I am writing this message in the spring and at the end of the academic year for our veterinary students. And although this message will reach you mid-summer, I wanted to say congratulations to our new colleagues who have entered the profession. In fact, all students deserve a well-earned “well done!” for their determination and hard work navigating a challenging academic year.
As our student veterinarians graduate and enter the profession officially, many new, young students are accepted into DVM programs. As the summer progresses so will the news of students accepting offers of admissions across the world. As a profession, we are fortunate to attract such dedicated and high-quality students to the profession regardless of their interests or ultimate veterinary career path. I recognize that I am biased, but I wholeheartedly believe that our profession is the best!
Welcome to our new veterinary graduates and welcome to our new veterinary students.
I hope you enjoy this issue and have an enjoyable summer!
