Flyer for Celebrating Non-traditional Student Week: Community Potluck and Resource Fair!
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. To kick it off, we are hosting a community potluck and resource fair! ALL are welcome! If you would like to bring a dish, please indicate when you register. Note: bringing a dish is NOT required!

ANTS is grateful for the collaboration and support of the following groups: SAVMA, sNABV, GSVA, AAVMP, JAVS, PrideSVMC, WVLDI!

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).

If any of this resonates with you, please join our GroupMe. Also, please share among your colleagues and networks: https://groupme.com/join_group/109929089/pUiaED96
Food Provided (Food will be graciously provided by ANTS, GSVA, AAVMP, PrideSVMC, and WVLDI! If you are bringing a dish or have any dietary preferences/restrictions, please let us know when you register!)
