The Saturday Academy program, "An Inside Look at Veterinary School", taught and developed by Dr. Kristin Patton, a veterinary pathologist from the Veterinary Diagnostic Lab at OSU, was so popular there was a waiting list for open spots.
"Forty aspiring middle and high school veterinarians had a unique opportunity: students helped with a medical exam on a patient at OSU's veterinary hospital, toured the labs, watched a video clip of a surgery, and took a dog into the newly completed canine rehabilitation facility for hydrotherapy," says Cori Hall, director of Saturday Academy at OSU.
The hands-on component, characteristic of Saturday Academy classes, made the biggest impression. "The mood of the class changed once the dogs arrived. The kids were so much more open to talk and interact," says Hall.
Dr. Patton's efforts at educating younger students about careers in veterinary medicine was featured by Capital Press and picked up by OSU Today.

What do giant squids and college essay writing have in common? Both topics will come together at the GEAR UP Ocean Science Camp this summer as 25 7th graders from Sweet Home, OR will descend on campus to learn about beaches, waves, and sea creatures as well as take part in college planning sessions, at no cost to the students. Through the efforts of Kyle Cole, assistant director of Precollege Programs, and Cori Hall, director of Saturday Academy, the GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs) committee chose to fund a grant completely supporting a brand-new program for students from the rural community of Sweet Home. "I think this is going to be a really worthwhile camp and draws together several OSU outreach programs including Saturday Academy, SMILE, the cultural centers and Hatfield MSC. It’s a good step in making PCP an effective outreach hub on campus," says Cole. Currently in the planning stages, be on the lookout for budding Jacques Cousteau's this summer. |
