Welcome! The Pre-Vet Club will hold its next meeting on February 6, 2012!

**8th Annual Dawg Jog 5k - Saturday, April 14, 2012**

The 8th Annual Dawg Jog 5K is a fun race that aims to bring the Athens area communities together to raise awareness and funds for the Georgia Equine Rescue League. The GERL is a non-profit organization who helps rescue and rehabilitate neglected and abused horses in our state. With the state of the economy and so many people abandoning horses, they need our help now more than ever!

The race will begin at 8:30am. Feel free to bring your dog to accompany you in the walk/jog/run. The course starts behind Stegeman Coliseum and winds through campus, past Sanford Stadium and the veterinary school. Awards will be given to the top two male and females in each respective category.

Sign up today!

This is a mandatory fundraiser and Pre-Vet Club members are required to either work or participate in the event. Please check back for more information as it becomes available.

General Information

We are a student organization on the UGA campus whose members are interested in veterinary medicine (and gaining admission into Vet School). Our organization meets every other week and all UGA students, faculty, and staff are welcome to join. Our club activities aim to enhance knowledge and experience within the veterinary medicine field. Club activities include guest speakers, volunteer activities, philanthropic events, and field trips. We also help students prepare for the application process into Vet School. The Pre-Vet Club at the University of Georgia is a great way to meet and work with fellow pre-veterinary students.

We have a Facebook Page! :-) Please "Like" us on Facebook!

Meetings

Welcome! The Pre-vet Club meets every other Monday at 7:30PM in the vet school in room H237. There will be food and drinks available before the meeting begins. Click here for the Meetings schedule. Hope to see you there!

Join us as you explore opportunities in the Veterinary field!

Club Dues and Requirements

Dues are $10 per semester and help to cover food and member activities. If you want to become a member of the Pre-Vet Club or already are and haven't paid this semester's dues, you have until the third meeting to pay them or you will be removed as a member.

Member Requirements

Remember, in order to be a member you must pay dues, attend 4 of the 7 meetings, participate in at least one member activity, two fundraisers, participate in one group and one individual community service opportunity. As a member, you will have access to the test bank, List Serv, and the new Yahoo Group with the test bank in the Files section. The top 20 members will be able to participate in a wet lab with a veterinarian at the UGA Vet School at the end of the semester. This is a great opportunity that you don't want to miss out on!

NEW POLICY:
We have had too many instances where someone will sign up for a time shift at one of our events and either does not show up or cancels the day of the event. It makes it harder on those who are counting on that person being there and makes the club less productive. So from now on, if you are not able to make it to an event that you signed up to work, you MUST notify Julie Thompson (kickme29@uga.edu) 24 hours in advance or find someone to cover your shift. If you do not follow this procedure, you will lose the points that you would have earned.
