Celebrating Non-traditional Student Week: ANTS Panel Discussion

The Association for Non-traditional Students (ANTS) @ CVM recognizes and supports non-traditional DVM, MPH, and PhD students. Nationally, Non-traditional Student Week is celebrated during the first full week of November (source: https://www.myantshe.org/national-nontrad-week). ANTS will also celebrate with several events during the week. One of these events is an ANTS Panel Discussion featuring current CVM NTS, alumni, and faculty, as well as graduate student life program administrators. ALL are welcome!

ANTS is grateful for the collaboration and support of the following groups: SAVMA and sNABV

What is a non-traditional student?
Great question: the definition of a non-traditional student (NTS) may vary, but a generally agreed upon definition for a non-traditional graduate student is someone who may be older than their fellow students and/or took a detour, rather than a direct route, from undergraduate to graduate school.

This definition is inclusive of students who:
Had a previous career/job before going back to school
Are parents and/or have dependents
Are caretakers
Are military service members/veterans
Employed full-time and/or goes to school part-time
And/or financially independent

As we march towards a more inclusive environment within veterinary medicine, it is vital to support nontraditional students (NTS).
