HSVMA 2021 Student Summer Lecture Series

Since last summer's student lecture series was such a success, we decided to provide an abbreviated version this summer for those who would like to continue their online learning.  We have scheduled three live lectures via Zoom, one each for the months of June, July and August.  Each lecture will be approximately one hour in length followed by 15 minutes of moderated Q&A time with the speaker.  Registration for these lectures is FREE for all HSVMA student members!   Joining HSVMA is simple and student membership is free through the first year after you graduate! 

Please send any questions about this series to Heather Schrader, Program Manager of Student Outreach, at [email protected]  

We hope you take advantage of this summer lecture series!
