Mentor and Mentee applications due by September 10, 2011
Mission Statement:
The purpose of the Pre-Vet Peer Mentoring Program (PVPMP) is to help pre-veterinary students to have successful undergraduate careers and to best prepare for the veterinary school admissions process.
What We Do
The Pre-Veterinary Mentors Program is intended to assist all undergraduate pre-veterinary students by serving as a support system for underclassmen and an opportunity to diversify interests and hone in vet-school applications as an upperclassmen. The organization is designed by allowing upperclassmen (juniors and seniors) to submit an application to be a mentor. Mentors are then paired with underclassmen that have compatible interests and can offer another level of diversity to the interests of the underclassmen pre-vet mentees. Mentees get the opportunity to check in with their mentors at least once a month to seek their guidance with class selections, job opportunities, and academic and peer support. Various events and socials take place intermittently to combine all mentors and mentees together to share their experiences. In addition to taking on the role as mentors, upperclassmen also get the opportunity to go through vet school application workshops each spring. We review the different types of veterinary schools and programs, opportunities in animal-science related fields, and essay-reviewing.
