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.
