“I knew upon arrival that RVC was the place for me.
I was honoured to have had the chance to attend
the Pre-Vet Summer School and would recommend
every student interested in veterinary medicine to
attend. This past year I worked the Pre-Vet Summer
School as a student ambassador and had the
unique opportunity to experience the program from
a different perspective. I am proud of what I have
accomplished at the RVC and I owe it to the very
first day I arrived on campus for the Pre-Vet Summer
School program.”
