Connecting and Networking
Engage with Us
We believe in the power of education and continuous learning. Please mark your calendars for our monthly meetups from August 2024 to June 2025. These sessions are designed to build community and expand your knowledge. Meetups are held on the second Wednesday of each month at 3:00 PM Eastern Time. Stay tuned for more details on each meetup.
The discussion this month will be focused on giving everyone continued time to network with colleagues who are in similar roles throughout other vet colleges, and share strategic focuses for the upcoming academic year.
This month, we are calling all fundraisers for Development Rounds! Borrowing from our clinician’s teaching hospital strategies, we will take the hour to break down recent donor cases and see what we can learn from them and each other.
Learn how the bonds formed between clients and clinicians can transform gratitude into generosity. This webinar explores the emotional and philosophical drivers behind grateful client philanthropy.
