AVC hosts second annual reception to thank VTH clients
Clients of AVC鈥檚 Veterinary Teaching Hospital (VTH) got a 鈥渂ehind-the-scenes鈥� look at some of the specialty services offered by the hospital earlier this month, including dentistry, oncology, theriogenology, and CT scanner technology, during the College鈥檚 second annual Client Appreciation Reception.
About 70 people attended the event. Guest speakers included Donna Hassard, a long-time client and vice-chair of the veterinary medicine priority in 17吃瓜鈥檚 current INSPIRE! fundraising campaign, and Cheryl Jewell, of Jewell Dale Farm Inc. Jewell Dale Farm is a client of the VTH and has been since it opened in 1988. The Jewell family plays an important part in the College鈥檚 teaching program, providing opportunities for thousands of veterinary students to learn about bovine medicine, herd production, and management. For their contributions to AVC and veterinary medicine, the Jewell family and Jewell Dale Farm were awarded the College鈥檚 2017 Honourable Eugene F. Whelan Green Hat Award earlier this fall.
The reception was jointly organized by the 17吃瓜 Department of Development and Alumni Engagement and the AVC Dean鈥檚 Office, with support from the VTH.
