Today was quite successful- I am overjoyed to say that we now have a pre-vet advisor for all members of the student body, who is officially part of the pre-health committee, will attend advisory meetings and begin the process of fully learning about vet school and the application process. Everyone from the provost's office down through the departments are in agreement that it is needed and how it has come about is a good way of setting it up- I couldn't have done it without the diplomacy of the professor involved, the help of fellow students (specifically Laura, our VP last year), and a wonderful lady in the provost's office who was our dogged supporter. Even President JMR got in on it at one point. It has been about 6 months since we started our campaign to make this happen, and getting a whole pile of emails from people today with confirmation was overwhelmingly satisfying.
There will now be someone to help the pre-vetters, both while I am here and when I am gone, and not only those who are in the club, but any who think they might want to be a vet.
Plus, we learned the drill and the work for our second-to-last song in Marching Band this evening. So, overall, I think the day was quite fantastic :) I hope my semester continues on this note it has been following, or at least stays this way for as long as possible!
