Diversity Webinar - Hosted by Hills and SAVMA

Join us this evening, July 8th at 6:00 CST as we host our second Diversity and Inclusion webinar focusing on racial diversity! In partnership with Hill's Pet Nutrition and SAVMA, we will be hosting webinars throughout the summer addressing multiple aspects of diversity to help promote a more inclusive environment in veterinary medicine.

Leading our racial diversity webinar is Dr. Will Draper. Dr Draper is the founder of The Village Vets alongside his wife, Dr.Françoise Tyler. The Village Vets is one of the largest privately owned groups of veterinary hospitals in the metro Atlanta area. They even have their own TV show, "Love & Vets," on Disney+! Dr. Draper will be talking with us about how he navigates his personal and professional experiences as a member of a diverse community in the not-so-diverse veterinary profession, and will share the challenges he has faced surrounding racism and prejudice as a Black man. The Zoom invitation and link can be found below.

We hope to see you there!

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.
