Student Chapter of the National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America (SCNAVTA)
SCNAVTA enables students to become more active in the community by participating in and providing a variety of public education. SCNAVTA also provides students with responsibilities allowing them to become a more professional and productive member of the veterinary team and introduces incoming freshman to the career, while at the same time forming a strong bond with mentoring senior students. Monthly meetings are interactive, held on both campuses, and available via Zoom for all students to be involved. Students organize fundraisers and manage their budget with the help of advisors. SCNAVTA is about networking not only within the veterinary profession but creating an interest for future veterinary nurses. The goal of the club is to promote the profession through community service and for students to develop leadership skills.
