Mission
Background and Mission: Despite their increasing presence in the collegiate environment, non-traditional students (NTS) are often overlooked and misunderstood, especially at the graduate level, with universities primarily catering to the needs of traditional students and lacking NTS support services. The definition of an NTS may vary, but a generally agreed upon definition for a non-traditional graduate student is someone who may be older (e.g., 25 years or 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 non-traditional DVM, MPH, and PhD students. Thus, the Association for Non-traditional Students (ANTS) aims to create a sustainable support network for non-traditional DVM, MPH, and PhD students at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM). ANTS’ values and vision revolve around the following:
• Building community at Cornell, Ithaca, and beyond (including other DVM, MPH, and STEM PhD programs)
• Being a resource and sharing resources (e.g., student-parent childcare grants, mutual aid, and emergency funds)
• Outreaching to allied groups, programs, NT CVM alumni, and offices to further foster and advocate for the professional and social support of non-traditional students.
• Collaborating with allied groups that support the intersecting identities of NTS (e.g., but not limited to, FGLI, sNABV, PrideSVMC, WVLDI, GSVA, etc.) and also collaborating with multidisciplinary groups to support the diverse career pathways and trajectories of NTS at CVM.
