The Global Engagement Fair also included the recognition of newly appointed International Veterinary Students Association (IVSA) officers: President Jesus Hernandez, Senior Rep. Elliot Westrich, and Junior Rep. Liam Quaas. IVSA is the international branch of the Student American Veterinary Medical Association<\/a> and now consists of over 38,000 members across 73 countries. Its mission is to benefit the animals and people of the world by harnessing the potential and dedication of veterinary students to promote the international application of veterinary skills, education, and knowledge. \u201cIt\u2019s as important as ever that we remain well-informed of the issues facing the veterinary medical profession on a local, national, and international level,\u201d Addison said. \u201cI just know that our students will represent us well and do just that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus Hernandez, president of the IVSA at Purdue, commented on the significance of the organization as well as its representation at the Global Engagement Fair. \u201cAs the president of Purdue\u2019s IVSA chapter, I appreciate the organization\u2019s commitment to fostering a global perspective among veterinary students,\u201d said Jesus. \u201cOur role is to create a supportive environment for students interested in international veterinary medicine, facilitating connections, and providing resources to enhance their education. The Global Engagement Fair aligns perfectly with IVSA\u2019s mission, offering a centralized space for students to explore global opportunities.\u201d The Global Engagement Fair featured display tables staffed by students who have completed study abroad programs in various countries around the world, allowing interested students to learn more about the international offerings of PVM. The event was structured as a reception with food representative of different regions of the world, which the students enjoyed as they took advantage of the opportunity to visit with fellow students, faculty, and staff who share their passion for international learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
