Upcoming SCAVMA Events

SCAVMA Meeting - 8/23/07 - 6:00 PM

At the first SCAVMA meeting, we will be introducing the various organizations at the College of Veterinary Medicine and the new officers.  We will begin eating dinner at 5:30 PM in the Pegasus dining room, followed by the meeting at 6:00 PM.  We hope to see you there!

 

AVID Microchip Lab - 9/1/07 - 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM

Thanks to AVID, we will be hosting a microchip lab in the small animal hospital on Saturday, September 1st starting at 10:00 AM.  The lab is open to pets of veterinary students, faculty, technicians and vet tech students.  AVID has provided the microchips for FREE, however, to raise funds for the JOSH project, there will be a charge of $5.00/patient.  Any and all pets are welcome, but we do ask that our equine friends register for the end of the day.  If you have a family member who would like to have their pet microchipped, AVID has provided a discounted fee of $15.00 for the chip and registration along with a $5.00 donation to the Josh project.  The goal of this event is to teach vet students how to properly place and register microchips.  If you are interested in volunteering at this event, please email Ashley Allen.  Registration will take place the first two weeks of classes and sign up sheets will be posted in the MDL.

 

Run For Rabies - 5K Run/Walk - 9/15/07 - 8:00 AM

Come help us raise awareness about the deadly rabies virus during the first annual World Rabies Day 5K Run For Rabies event.  World Rabies Day is September 8th, however, we will be honoring the day on September 15th.  The race will be held on campus starting at 8:00 AM on Saturday, September 15th.  Participants will receive a complimentary t-shirt and goody bag.  The race is open to all Mississippi State students, faculty, friends and family.  The registration fee of $20 will help raise funds for the Alliance for Rabies Control, the JOSH project and our SCAVMA chapter.  You can register on-line through the World Rabies Day link.  There, you will find more information on this national day and learn more about the impact of rabies on a global level.
