APVMA Scholarships Available

So, we finally sent-off our membership dues to the American Pre-Veterinary Medical Association and recieved word back that we are now officially a part of their organization. This is a wonderful opportunity for everyone as it gives members access to internships, scholarships, awards and eligibility for election to the Executive Board for the APVMA. I have posted copies of the forms for the scholarships and awards on the COSO website. These awards are on a national level which is a wonderful way to gain serious recognition for your work and the selection process is rigorous. Awards are selected based on a variety of criteria and are awarded at National Symposium during one of their business casual dinners. The following people are eligible to fill these forms out:

Amanda Stiles, Analisa Edell, Anthony Puccio, Bianca Murphy, Carol Ponce, Christie Gonzalez, Cleon Hendricks, Dana Mulvaney, David Baum, Elizabeth Hodge, Eunike Stenersen, Janah Purland, Karen Diaz-Benza, Kayli Spencer, Kristin Hand, Luisa Velez, Nicole Samilo, Nina Chow, Noelle Lazan, Rachael Matyisin, Tiffany Liesch, Tracy Moran, Trevor Detrick, Tricia Adams

If you decide to fill-out a form, let the Executive Board know so we can track your progress and be ready to cheer you on if you win at Symposium!!

Almost Done!

So, we've almost reached the finish line for Fall 2008. As we all scramble to prepare for finals just remember one thing, all the hard work pays off! Before the end of the term, don't forget to turn in your volunteer hours. For those of you who logged service hours, you should have received an e-mail from Christie Gonzalez outlining your hours earned and the dates and events at which you earned them. If you did not receive a notice, please contact Christie at CGonza48@fau.edu.

Also, don't forget that we have two volunteer events in December during the winter break. On December 14th, we will be hosting pet pictures with Santa at Fur Crazy Pet Salon. See previous blogs for more details. We will also be hosting Canine Christmas Caroling at Mizner Park on December 20th 6-9 pm with a holiday mixer at The Dubliner to follow-up. If you are interested in either, follow the previous blogs posted on this site for more information OR contact Christie Gonzalez at CGonza48@fau.edu. Hope you all have a safe and wonderful holiday season!
