A member of OVC’s Class of 2015 was honoured recently for her leadership skills.
Patricia Seaton received the Dr. Jack Walther Leadership Award from the Western Veterinary Conference (WVC). This prestigious award recognizes student veterinary leaders and promotes lifelong professional service.
Introduced in 2002, the award is presented annually to 33 DVM students from every accredited veterinary school in North America. It includes a financial award as well as complimentary registration, airfare and accommodation plus expenses to attend the WVC Annual Conference in Las Vegas.
Last year, the scholarship was renamed the Jack Walther Leadership Award in honour of the former president of the American Veterinary Medical Association and his 50 years of service to the profession.
