A third-year animal science student was elected the treasurer for a national organization of pre-veterinary students.

Jaylen Davis will serve as the national treasurer for the American Pre-Veterinary Medical Association (APVMA). The Rancho Cucamonga native was elected at the APVMA Symposium, which was held March 8-9, at Penn State.

Davis and 13 other Cal Poly Pomona animal science students attended the symposium, accompanied by Assistant Professor Cord Brundage and Lecturer Kathy Earle. Brundage and Earle encouraged Davis to run for office.

“I ran for treasurer because of my previous experiences on Ag Council’s e-board as their treasurer and because of the leadership experience I have gained as ag senator for this school year,” she added.

As treasurer, Davis’ duties will include maintaining the organization’s checking and savings account and overseeing dues collection from APVMA’s 3,000 members. She also will arrange association’s fall and summer meetings, manage the sale of APVMA’s apparel and other items online, and participating in weekly teleconferences with the e-board and other board members.

The symposium exposes prospective veterinary students to the diversity of the field of veterinary medicine and provides them with valuable networking and professional development opportunities.

Students worked with veterinary medical experts in interactive labs, heard lectures from leaders in veterinary-related, and met with vet school representatives.
