Presented to registrants through the IVMA website, conference educational sessions span business hours through the end of the day today and then continue during evenings February 9-11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Director of Alumni Relations and Special Events Susan Xioufaridou worked with Breightly, the service provider for the virtual conference, to fashion a booth that has a wide variety of information. Visitors to the booth can see the latest updates on construction of the new Purdue University Veterinary Hospital as well as information about PVM continuing education offerings. While visiting the booth, guests are encouraged to update their contact information to receive a free prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To engage with guests in the booth, programs have been arranged to provide information on PVM\u2019s alumni association and the current student experience, as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Friday, February 5<\/strong>, until 2:00 p.m. \u2013 ALUMNI DAY!<br><em>Stop by and show us your Purdue attire for a chance to win a prize!<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Saturday, February 6<\/strong>, 11:50 a.m. &#8211; 2:00 p.m. \u2013 CLINICAL YEAR EXPERIENCE AT PVM<br><em>Learn how the clinical experiences available to our 4th year DVM students have evolved.
