Welcome Back! Dues Reminder

Hi everyone! I hope everyone is excited for the new semester! We wanted to remind everyone to renew their SCAVMA dues, which can be done at https://ebusiness.avma.org/SAVMA/savmaduesstep1.aspx. Our goal is to have every student signed up with SCAVMA as soon as possible and every student will be reimbursed by the university :)  

Also check back for a date and time of the SCAVMA Welcome Back Party which is always a blast!

Please go online and pay your 2014-2015 dues today! 

If you don't know where to find your SAVMA Member ID it will be on your Membership Card.

If you don't have or have lost your Membership Card, message your class rep and they will get you your ID #.

Last General Meeting for Spring 2014

LAST GENERAL MEETING:

Come out to the April General Meeting (LAST OF THE TERM!!!) on Monday April 14th in Bourne Lecture Hall for general updates, to hear about the recent SAVMA symposium, upcoming events, raffle prizes, FOOD and this month....

MEET THE DEAN!! Dr. Timothy Ogilvie will be present for a Q&A session on whatever it is you would like to discuss.  Questions can be directed toward the SCAVMA E-board, Dr. Ogilvie or both.

Don't forget, come out to the General meeting and get a point towards your SCAVMA attendance: and as before, the more points you have, the better it looks for you when making fund requests or for limited # Scavma events!

This is the last general meeting and there will only be 1 more lunchtime lecture, so IF YOU DON'T HAVE 2 ATTENDANCE POINTS YET, PLEASE ATTEND TO REMAIN IN GOOD STANDING!

Important Reminders:

1. The last day to submit funding requests for events occurring before the first day of classes in August 2014 is April 18th. Please submit funding requests to sgusvmscavma@gmail.com.
