Veterinary Science alumni reunite in Singapore
Press release
28 March 2008
A group of former Veterinary Science students, who graduated from 2002 through to 2007, recently gathered in Singapore to attend a lively alumni reception dinner.
The event was held on Sunday 24 February 2008 at the Copthorne King’s Hotel, and provided the group with the opportunity to meet up with old friends, network and catch up on the latest news.
Honorary senior fellow and former international student mentor, Mike Harrison, who hosted the event on behalf of the Faculty of Veterinary Science, said: “It was great to see friendly faces, and to find out how successful our graduates are in developing their veterinary careers.
“Some are employed in private practice, one graduate is currently working with the Agency for Science, Technology and Research, and four are employed by the Agri-food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) Singapore.”
Cheryl Goh, who graduated in 2005, and is currently the Deputy Head of the Emergency Planning Unit of the AVA, commented: “It was a wonderful evening, providing the ideal opportunity for both old and new graduates to revitalise and forge new friendships.
“These events are extremely important as they provide opportunities to share knowledge and experiences, which is especially helpful for newly qualified veterinarians practising in Singapore. We want to build a strong veterinary alumni network here in Singapore.”
