Today we celebrate a bittersweet milestone as we say goodbye to one of our incredible student employees.

Over the past three years, Steven has been an invaluable part of the Veterinary Science Certificate Program team. His dedication, hard work, professionalism, and genuine passion for veterinary medicine have made a lasting impact on our program and everyone who has had the opportunity to work alongside him.

We are incredibly proud to share that he has been accepted into Texas Tech veterinary school—a well-deserved achievement that reflects years of determination and commitment to his dream. While we will certainly miss having him on our team, we couldn't be more excited to watch him begin this next chapter.
