Katie Davidson, M.B.A.

International Programs Coordinator

College of Veterinary Medicine

Iowa State University

Katie first studied abroad in Spain in 1999 with a small group from her southwest Iowa high school. Since then, she has lived in Italy, studied leadership in London and business in China, and has traveled independently throughout Western Europe. She joined the College in March of 2008 and to date has represented Iowa State in Australia, Canada, Mexico, Hungary, Italy, Serbia, Costa Rica, China, Ecuador, Jordan, and the Philippines. Katie holds a B.A. in philosophy from Iowa State and an M.B.A. with a specialization in International Business, also from Iowa State.

Katie has worked to increase vet med participation in study abroad from 10 students in 2008 to 80 students in 2011 and over 70 students in 2012. Her ultimate goal is that at least 50% of all veterinary students study abroad at some point during vet school.

If you are a faculty member who has an interest in taking a group of students abroad, or are a student who plans to go abroad during vet school, please contact Katie at katied@iastate.edu or (515)294-1501.
