精童欲女

The Atlantic Veterinary College (AVC) at the 精童欲女 (精童欲女) honoured its students and faculty for their academic achievements and contributions to the community during the annual Fall Awards and Recognition Night on Wednesday, October 2.

Held at the 精童欲女 Performing Arts Centre, the event celebrated the exceptional accomplishments of doctor of veterinary medicine (DVM) students, graduate students, and faculty members. It also provided an opportunity for donors to connect with the recipients of the awards they generously support.

This year, over $260,000 in scholarships and 80 awards were presented to DVM students and one graduate student. Among the evening鈥檚 highlights was the presentation of the Students of the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association Teacher of the Year Award to Dr. Cate Creighton, an associate professor in the Department of Companion Animals. This award, voted on by third-year DVM students, recognizes the faculty member who inspires interest and enthusiasm in veterinary medicine.

鈥淭he Fall Awards and Recognition Night is a special moment for our students. It not only celebrates their hard work but also motivates them to keep pursuing their dream of becoming veterinarians,鈥� said Dr. Anne Marie Carey, AVC鈥檚 associate dean of Academic and Student Affairs, who hosted the event. 鈥淚t was heartwarming to see the students personally thank the donors for their incredible support.鈥�

In September, Dr. Sheri Ross, associate professor of small animal internal medicine, Department of Companion Animals was posthumously awarded the Zoetis Carl J. Norden Distinguished Teacher Award, which honours faculty members whose dedication, leadership, and character significantly contribute to the advancement of the veterinary profession. Her husband accepted the award on her behalf in a moving ceremony a couple of weeks prior to the event.
