The event offered PVM students the chance to talk about job opportunities with potential employers who came from across Indiana as well as other states to share information about their facilities and workplace cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nearly 60 exhibitors hosted booths at the fair on Friday, October 30. The event provided a comfortable setting where DVM, veterinary technology, clinical-year, and graduate students, as well as residents and interns, could explore career opportunities, ask questions and make professional connections.
