Our Explorer Post meets once monthly and programming content is directed by the Post members to further knowledge in veterinary medicine as a career choice.

https://www.vet.k-state.edu/about/diversity/history-aa.html
Our program is dedicated to allowing students with an interest in veterinary medicine get hands-on opportunities to learn about this career field. https://www.vet.k-state.edu/about/diversity/history-aa.html

Vision statement: “To provide positive and meaningful real world career experiences and leadership development opportunities for al

l teenagers and young adults in their chosen field of interest”. Our goal as the Kansas State University Veterinary Explorers Post is to provide teenagers with veterinary medicine, animal science or animal health care as a future field of interest the opportunity to gain real-life experience and understanding of those career options. Emphasis will be placed on activities involving interactive group activity and experiential learning.

What a week for events!!!
On Sunday, we visited Vermillion Valley Equine Center with Equine Veterinarian Dr. Laurie Beard. We assisted with drawing blood on verious horses throughout the facility in order to perform a Coggins test! We are so thankful for Ann White, the owner of Vermillion Valley, for allowing us to have this event at her facility and to help with the blood draws on her horses!
On Saturday, we had a skills lab where we got to learn suture techniques and surgical pack wrapping from two awesome first year vet students, including former President of VV Kyndall Neal! Autumn also created an amazing IV placement demo!
Lastly, we had a Fear Free Companion Animal Handling Demo on Wednesday April 28th. Veterinary Assistant Julie Croasdale, a BS, CPDT-KSA, ABCDT, CGC evaluator and Veterinary Assistant Sara Taylor were great teachers!
Thank you to everyone who has helped teach this week and to all of our lovely members who showed up to the events to learn more and get involved!

As aspiring veterinarians, it’s important that we strive to ensure that the field of veterinary medicine is a welcoming place for people of all races, genders, sexual orientations, religions, and nationalities.
Therefore, Veterinary Voyagers wants to share with you the stories of some of the courageous people who first began this movement toward change.
We’ll be sharing posts and information from different organizations in order to spread awareness about how we can support diversity in our own communities.

To begin, click this link to see an Instagram post by the Black DVM Network about Dr. Augustus Lushington - the first African American male to earn a DVM degree.
