University of Georgia CE Seminar
Scholarship
More Information and Registration
Dr. Sharon Crowell-Davis from the University of Georgia is again offering a wonderful opportunity to members of the SVBT. This fall, a two day seminar focusing on animal behavior will be held October 4-5, 2008, at the University of Georgia’s main campus in Athens, Georgia. All of us can reserve a place by registering for the course – details on registration will be made available at www.svbt.org as they are made available to us. In addition, Sharon Crowell-Davis, DVM, PhD, DACVB, has partnered with the SVBT in offering one of our members a scholarship to attend this course.
The scholarship will cover the cost of registration and there is also a $300 stipend towards travel, housing, and meal expenses. In order to determine who will get to take advantage of this incredible opportunity, we are holding an essay contest.
If you are a current professional member of the SVBT, submit an application downloaded from www.svbt.org, answer the following essay in
500 words or less, and submit in electronic form and hard copy to the SVBT scholarship committee. Also include one letter of reference from the private practice or facility where you are employed.|
Please answer this question for your essay: “What do you think some of the personal attributes are that make a person successful working in the animal behavior field?” |
Get started NOW! All entries must be postmarked by Aug. 10, 2008. A winner will be chosen by August 17, 2008. No late or incomplete entries will be considered.
Hard copies and references and electronic formats need to be mailed to:
Pam Mahlie, RVT
50667 Haven Hill
Granger, IN 46530
Essays and
applications may also be emailed to:
pjmrvt@comcast.net
We must have the “snail mailed” information by the postmarked date or it will not be considered. In the past, we have received essays that could not be shared between committee members thru the format they were in, so that is why we need to have both formats.
| We encourage everyone to attend this CE event even if you decide not to participate in the scholarship contest. Our members that have attended in past years have raved about what they have learned and how much better equipped they were to handle different situations in the behavior field. |
