University of Maryland Block and Bridle Club

Hi everyone! My name is Olivia, and I’m excited to serve as the 2026–2027 Historian for Block & Bridle!

I’m a junior Animal Science major on the pre-veterinary track. On campus, I’m involved in Pre-Vet Society, Sigma Alpha, Terps Raising Pups, Ski Club and One Health.

I’m looking forward to capturing and sharing all of the memories, events, and accomplishments of our chapter this year. I can’t wait to see what we accomplish together. Here’s to a great year with Block & Bridle! 🐾💚

Did you know cattle are one of the most important livestock species in agriculture? From providing nutritious milk and high-quality beef to contributing to research and education, cattle play a major role in feeding and supporting communities around the world.

Happy Summer Break from Block & Bridle ☀️🐄
