Fundraiser for Vet Tech students’ continuing education

Posted

TORRINGTON—Eastern Wyoming College Vet Tech students spent a suds filled day with the pups of the area.

Ranging from small to big, all dogs were welcome to attend the February spa day for washing and nail clipping. Hosting the dog wash events is a way for the Vet Tech student club to raise money for trips focused on continuing education.

“We actually just got back from a conference in Florida,” Adelle Ostrom the Vet Tech Club Secretary said. “I like to go to that because we get to experience different things, like, we don’t have Penguin Medicine here. We learn all sorts of cool stuff.”

Ostrom said they had the opportunity to go to different classes during the conference covering a variety of topics from dealing with venomous snakes in the clinic and aqua-therapy for horses.

“There’s like 500 hours that they can go to of different lectures. I mean, they only get to go to 40, but there’s 500 different choices they can go to,” Dr. Colleen Mitchell the Associate Professor of Veteran Technology at EWC said.

Ostrom said there are also different vendors down there for a multitude of technological advances.

The Florida conference is only available for the sophomores but there is also a trip to Denver available for freshmen who attend meetings and help with the dog wash.
