Recent Impact - Ontario Veterinary College

“My favourite part of the Wellness Rotation was the reminder that vets are human too, not superheroes.”

Emily, OVC Class of 2018

Thank you for giving to OVC this past year and thank you especially for helping us to invest in the health and wellness of the next generation of veterinarians through your support of the OVC Wellness Rotation.

Since its first offering three years ago, the demand for this new rotation has grown, and with your help, we are now able to make this additional offering available to more students. Physical, mental, emotional, interpersonal, financial, and time/energy management techniques are among the skills that our students learn through this elective. For example, rock climbing is used as a way to introduce coping and confidence-building skills, as well as the importance of physical wellness.

Your gift will help prepare students like Emily for life’s challenges, particularly as they begin their careers as professional veterinarians.

On behalf of the Ontario Veterinary College at the University of Guelph, thank you for helping us to Improve Life.

Sincerely,

Jeff Wichtel

Dean, Ontario Veterinary College
