Programming example

This past weekend, I had the privilege organizing the Illinois Latinx Veterinary Medical Association (LVMA) Chapter 2nd annual Latin Night with my fellow LVMA Executive Board! With more than 150 veterinary students and faculty in attendance, it was a night of delicious food, dancing, and great vibes.

Hispanic and Latinx veterinarians make up only 5% of the workforce; it was an honor to bring this cultural celebration to our college uniting our veterinary community to enjoy Latin music, dance, and food while fostering diversity and inclusion.

An immense thank you to all of our sponsors who helped make this night a success!
