Do you remember the exact moment when you found out you got into vet school? I do! I remember opening the letter and reading the words, “Congratulations, you have been accepted.” First I screamed, then I shouted, and then called everyone I knew to tell them the news. I was ready to pack my bags and head to Alabama to start my journey.

Just a few months ago, thousands of college students across the country received a similar letter and I am sure there was lots of screaming and shouting, too.

In this issue of Vet Candy Magazine we are going back to school. We are also introducing you to a special friend of mine, Maya Sullivan. Maya and I connected on Linked In a few months before she received her own special letter from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine. After getting to know Maya through a mentorship program, I have no doubt that she is going to make our profession a better place and I am exciting to be in the front row cheering her on!
