Another successful Vet Tech Internship Fair! 🐾

Our Veterinary Technology students connected with employers as they prepare to apply for their summer internships. There were great conversations, meaningful connections, a very charming exotic shorthair cat, and even a few Valentine treats along the way.

Experiences like this help students move confidently from classroom to career.
