The Vet Gazette is the official online journal of the Student AVMA. This publication serves as a creative outlet for students as well as a source of information regarding professional events, externship/internship opportunities, and scholarship/funding opportunities provided by SAVMA, the AVMA, and other organizations.

Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine has been selected by the House of Delegates to publish the journal for the 2010-2011 school year (Volume 47).

Ashley Smit, Editor

Ashley Smit is a member of the Class of 2012 at Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine and Editor of The Vet Gazette. She completed her undergraduate education as a Biology Major and Music/Spanish Minor at Kansas State University as well and purple pride runs deep in her veins. Eight years in Manhattan, KS were broken up by a semester spent at the Universidad de Sevilla, Spain to complete her Spanish minor and a year spent working with a chimpanzee sanctuary in Shreveport, Louisiana and rehabilitating wildlife in the Texas Hill Country following undergrad graduation.  As a lover of and believer in communal living, she shares her home in the Little Apple with four other vet students, two dogs, a hamster, and beta fish. Her own dog, a black lab named Griff, lives at home with her parents, as he is afraid of stairs and she lives in a basement.  Ashley’s immediate plans after graduation in May 2012 run the theoretical gamut from small animal private practice to conservation centered wildlife work.

Ashley believes strongly that human beings are natural born storytellers and artists and that veterinary students are no exception. As Editor-elect and eventually Editor, she hopes to help The Vet Gazette grow in readership and to continue to serve as the vehicle for those communal stories. She hopes to make The Vet Gazette truly a voice of vet students and gladly welcomes suggestions on topics that you would like to talk/hear about. Her experiences in organized veterinary medicine through SAVMA and SCAVMA have been sources of great joy and she hopes to be able to help convey to students the incredible sense of community that can be found in such organizations.  

Happy reading! I love to hear from you!
