Organizations and Clubs

 

Explore, create, lead, organize, have fun, rejuvenate your mind and body …
you can do all of this and much more by participating in any of dozens of CVM student activities and organizations. Student clubs and organizations provide a full spectrum of activities -- some that are social and recreational; others that delve into the handling and treatment of specific animal species. Get involved in student chapters affiliated with professional veterinary organizations and you will:
  • explore wide-ranging career possibilities
  • learn from and meet national and international leaders in veterinary medicine
  • hear about current issues and trends, nationally and globally
To venture into the world of non-veterinary experiences, the ISU Student Organizations Office is a resource for hundreds of special interest, multicultural, community or recreational clubs and activities. Vet Med Student Organizations and Activities
The listing of student organizations also includes some of the student-organized activities that have become an on-going part of a dynamic student environment.
In addition, student representatives serve on the College's standing committees to provide a policy-making voice and to share student perspectives on issues and operations throughout the College. These committees include curriculum, animal welfare, student-faculty relations, international, safety, and others.
 
Student Events-IMPORTANT!!!
Student organizations routinely host a variety of events (wetlabs, community activities, speakers, etc).  Before hosting an event student organizers should enlist the assistance of their advisors.  Advisors are important resources and are expected to be present for events that do not occur during normal business/school hours.  Appropriate university offices (OASA, Risk Management, Iowa State Police, etc) should be contacted to ensure that the event is compliant with university/college policies.  Any protocols or forms should be consulted/completed prior to the event.
