“Paws Up” – brought to you by the PVM Wellness Committee

Today our gratitude goes to Cass Simmons, RVT, VTS, who is a small animal surgery instructional technologist. A colleague nominated her stating, “Cass exemplifies unwavering dedication to the success of the Junior Surgery class, consistently going above and beyond to ensure its seamless operation. Her meticulous attention to detail ensures that all necessary supplies are always prepared and readily available, while her compassionate oversight makes sure that patients receive the highest standard of care. Cass actively seeks and delivers timely, thoughtful feedback to students, fostering a supportive and enriching learning environment. Her commitment is evident in the countless hours she dedicates to the program—arriving early, staying late, and making herself available to address after-hours questions or concerns. Her tireless efforts not only keep the class running smoothly but also create an atmosphere of trust and collaboration, empowering students to thrive. Her exceptional contributions are integral to the program’s success and to shaping the future of our students.”
