Epsilon Kappa Mu — Cedarville’s prevet student organization, Epsilon Kappa Mu (EKM), creates a supportive community for Cedarville prevet students. The club regularly organizes volunteer opportunities with local partners, such as the Humane Society, 4 Paws for Ability (service dog organization), and the local animal shelter. EKM seeks ways to engage students in volunteer experiences, workshops, and networking opportunities. The student-led EKM will also encourage you as a prevet student in your pursuit of a veterinary profession and provide assistance as you prepare to transition to veterinary 学校.

Large and Small Animal Experience — One of the program professors, Dr. 鲍勃巴黎, welcomes prevet students to gain experience on his farm working with large-animal livestock. You will gain experience in the area of general livestock handling, as well as various aspects of routine healthcare. These opportunities are available within a five-minute drive of campus. In addition to the large and small animals on Dr. Paris’ farm, you will have opportunities to intern with or shadow one of the many local veterinarians specializing in small-animal medicine. Similar experiences are also available for those students interested in working with veterinarians specializing in large-animal medicine.

Christian Veterinary Mission — You may choose to participate with CVM, a global organization that seeks to equip and encourage students and professionals in the veterinary profession. CVM’s mission is to challenge, 授权, and facilitate veterinary professionals to serve others by living out their Christian faith. They offer missions trips across the globe, where veterinarians and students have the opportunity to increase veterinary skills, serve others, and share the Gospel. Cedarville University’s Epsilon Kappa Mu hosts the local chapter of CVM’s Christian Veterinary Fellowship (CVF), and enjoys a close relationship with CVM’s Midwestern representative, Curtis Gibbs.

Local Ministry Teams — Prevet students are encouraged to develop attitudes of service. There are numerous local ministry teams at Cedarville, dedicated to serving those in our surrounding communities with the heart of Christ.
