Hello Portalers,
The KSMP wants to be sure that every veterinary student knows about the generous offer extended by our friends at the Association for Animal Welfare Advancement (AAWA). If you are actively enrolled in a veterinary college, you can attend AAWA’s conferences for FREE!
The Association’s next conference will be held the first week of December and will include special guest Vu Le, executive director of Nonprofit AF.
It’s an especially exciting time for veterinary students to be able to attend conferences and gain an insider’s peek at the changing landscape of animal welfare. Here are a few of the topics students are invited to participate in:
- Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Hiring Philosophy and Practices
- Collaboration: Understand, Align, and Transform
- Practicing Compassionate Badassery: How to Cope with COVID-19
- Technology to Safely Onboard, Support & Engage Volunteers During and Past COVID
- Breaking Happy: A Path to a Sustainable Career
- Recruiting Today’s Hourly Workers: It’s Different. And It’s Not.
Please help spread the good word and forward this message along to any students that can benefit from this offer.
How do veterinary students redeem this offer? Thank you!
This event is being put on by “The AAWA”. I checked on their site and it shows students can be members of “The AAWA” for $15 and that membership includes 1 free conference a year. So, looks like they would activate that membership and that would entitle them to the free conference attendance. Contact them at admin@theaawa.org for more info. Thanks for asking about this!
