Texas A&M University-Kingsville is popular for its exceptional pre-vet opportunities. In January 2019, the Pre-Vet club will celebrate its four-year anniversary and its goal to help animal lovers by getting their pre-vet degree.
The Pre-Vet organization is a great way to get involved and get your feet wet in the world of veterinary medicine thanks to its commitment to the community and diligent exposure to veterinary information.
“Our goal is to create exposure for our members and provide them with information about networking and hands-on experience in the realm of Veterinary (medicine). However, this club is not specific to Animal-Science majors. We welcome everybody to join; we do a lot of community work and can provide several leadership opportunities,” said Avery Fajkus, the Pre-Vet club president.
The Pre-Vet organization volunteers in different events throughout Kleberg County. Members aid in keeping parks clean and help care for animals in pet shelters.
“We are actively involved within our community. We volunteer in pet adoption days, help set up, clean up and promote the event. We also volunteer in pet shelters. It’s a great way to gain hands-on experience and interact with the community,” said Ashley Lopez, the Pre-Vet club’s vice president.
Several Pre-Vet Club members emphasized their learning experience since they have been part of the organization.
The Pre-Vet Club is dedicated in enhancing the success of all its members; therefore, they attempt to involve guest speakers and showcase studying abroad possibilities for all its members.
“Besides getting started in my network abilities, this club allows you to connect with peers and give an opportunity to get to know your upper classmates. A lot of the times upper-classmates are able to guide and provide us with useful information since they already took the course. Being involved in clubs within your major strives for academic improvement overall,” said Merideth Harvey, a pre-vet major.
The Pre-Vet organization is a group of dedicated and selfless individuals willing to help others grow and achieve their goals.
