Communicating the Diversity within Veterinary Medicine Grant

The Integrative Communications and Diversity Committee (ICDC) has extended the deadline of this grant to April 5, 2013. Applications can be found here, or you may contact Emily Colwell directly at ecolwell@upei.ca. 

Goal: To enhance communication between SCAVMA, SAVMA and the AVMA while enhancing diversity awareness through promoting community activities and opportunities.

A total of four grants will be awarded to clubs or individuals. Grants will be given to deserving individuals or groups who host a diversity-based activity with a larger communication component for the public. Please write a 300-500 word essay briefly describing the activity and how communication occurred. Successful examples will be published in the Vet Gazette. In order to qualify for the grant, no fundraising component can come from the activity, and any notes, posters, or pamphlets given at the event must accompany the write up.

Note: Diversity is NOT limited to multicultural diversity and write-ups focusing on diversity within the veterinary field will be accepted.
