In addition to this, the CUCVM Dance Collective also offers performance opportunities to those students who would like the chance to choreograph and perform. Such opportunities include our annual Spring Showcase, which provides student choreographers a venue where they can present their work to the entire community.

Guiding Eyes for the Blind at CVM (GEB@CVM) works to connect the Cornell veterinary student body with the work of Guiding Eyes for the Blind (GEB) an internationally accredited, non-profit guide dog school based in Yorktown Heights, NY. We believe that both educating vet students about service animal training as well as directly involving vet students in the socialization of these dogs not only furthers the mission of schools like Guiding Eyes for the Blind, but also provides vet students with invaluable training in canine behavior and a unique perspective into the human-animal bond.

The first Pet Loss Support Hotline was set up in 1989 at the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of California at Davis. Cornell used their guidelines in construction of our own hotline. The hotline is staffed by volunteer veterinary students who have undergone extensive training with professional grief counselors. Volunteers regularly attend discussion meetings with faculty advisors. These meetings assist hotline volunteers in dealing with the personal responses to grief and educate them to better serve the needs of callers.

Literature relating to pet loss and grief is maintained by the hotline and available for mailing to callers who request information. Articles about the human-animal bond and grief are provided for the education of student volunteers and, together with the experience from the hotline, help to prepare the students for the emotional side of veterinary practice.

Many if not all of the veterinary student volunteers have experienced the loss of a beloved companion animal and are aware of the profound sadness and confusing emotions that can result. They understand that every loss is unique and they are trained to acknowledge the normal grieving process that callers are experiencing.

The Cornell Pet Loss Support Hotline is not a mental health hotline. If the concerns voiced over a call are beyond topics related to pet loss and pet grieving, volunteers will help you find appropriate resources for your needs.

The Small Animal Clinical Skills Clubs (SACS) at Cornell is devoted to the improvement of clinical skills students have limited opportunities to practice.

To this end, we host lectures and wet labs; for example, in previous years have had labs on dental radiography and dental techniques such as scaling and nerve blocks. All of the labs are hands-on and allow students to practice skills on cadavers, and are taught by residents or technicians in the hospital.

Perhaps our most important events are vaccine and SNAP test clinics that we host in the fall and spring. These are open to students, staff, and faculty of the vet school and usually draws in about 60 animals per clinic. Club members and volunteers run the entire clinic, from vaccine administration to blood draw, under the supervision of our trusted advisers, Pati Kirch, LVT/Teaching Support Specialist, and Carolyn McDaniel, VMD/Senior Lecturer, Department of Clinical Sciences.
