Students gained a global perspective on veterinary education at the 2019 Fall Extravaganza hosted by Purdue Veterinary Medicine\u2019s Office of Global Engagement and the Purdue Chapter of the International Veterinary Student Association (IVSA).\u00a0 The event Thursday evening, September 26, attracted more than 75 students from the College\u2019s Veterinary Nursing and DVM programs. The Fall Extravaganza provides students and faculty with the opportunity to discuss international learning experiences with those in the College who have participated in study abroad programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event was held in the Lynn Hall courtyard, which was festooned with a variety of international-themed decorations.  Another feature of the event was a buffet of Thai-inspired dishes from Noodles and Company.  Attendees also could view displays featuring each of the College\u2019s study abroad options, including programs in South Africa, Nepal, China, Japan, and Chile.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also at the event, participants voted on entries in the Global Engagement office\u2019s photo contest.  The winners were announced Monday, September 30, and included Julie Mosher, of the DVM Class of 2020, who submitted the first place photo in the Landscape category; and Kindele Lenoir, of the DVM Class of 2022, who submitted the first prize photo in the \u201cI am a Future Vet\/Vet Nurse\u201d category.  Photos entered in the contest will be featured in the coming months on the College\u2019s Instagram feed.  They can be viewed using #pvmglobal19<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you know all the fun involved, make sure you don\u2019t miss out on next year’s International Extravaganza! \u201cIt\u2019s a great opportunity to come and learn from students who have studied abroad or to share your own wonderful experiences,\u201d said Global Engagement Director Will Smith. \u201cTake Wendell Berry’s advice, \u2018Nobody can discover the world for somebody else. Only when we discover it for ourselves, does it become common ground and a common bond [where] we cease to be alone.\u2019 Remember, as prospective leading veterinary professionals in a multicultural and global marketplace, cultural competencies are vital to your future success.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you to everyone who came out to this year\u2019s Fall\nExtravaganza and helped make it a great success!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
