SCVMA was thrilled to spend time today during Wellness Week supporting the incredible veterinary students at Western University of Health Sciences College of Veterinary Medicine as they gear up for midterms next week.

We brought reinforcements:
🥐 Delicious carbs courtesy of Paris Baguette
🐥 Motivational rubber duckies reminding students that they are “ducking awesome.”

Let’s just say… the students descended on those pastries like rabid gremlins (no crumbs left behind). But between bites, they took a few moments to learn about the benefits of their complimentary SCVMA student membership, including:
✨ Access to student scholarships
✨ Networking with local veterinary professionals in LA & OC
✨ Continuing education opportunities
✨ Mentorship and career support

Midterms can be intense, but this profession is built on community — and SCVMA is proud to show up for the next generation of veterinary leaders. Many thanks to our SCVMA Student Liaison, Irene Chae. You Rock!

To our WesternU students: You’ve got this. And in case you forgot… you’re ducking awesome. 💛🐥
