Dear members of the UPEI community,
I write to you to ask your help. Our AVC students will host the 2013
Student Canadian Veterinary Medical Association Symposium.
This symposium is held each year at one of the five veterinary
schools in Canada. The event is taking place here from January 10-12, with
students arriving in PEI as early as January 9 and departing by January 13.
This is a wonderful event filled with lectures, labs, tours, and some
social events. The event is being run on a “student budget,” and every
measure is being taken to lower the costs. This is where we need your help.
We are asking that you consider being a host to one or more of these
students. A host needs only to provide a place to sleep, bathroom
facilities (no meals are needed), and if possible, transportation to campus
in the mornings. Included is a link to “sign up” to be a host. This is a
great opportunity for us to showcase our beautiful campus and our Island,
to show our support for our veterinary students, and at the same time do
something special and memorable for a future member of the veterinary
profession. Thanks in advance for your consideration of this request. Your
generosity is greatly appreciated.
