OVC 1969 Leadership Prize [C2308]

Apply during the Fall call for applications from the OVC Dean’s Office by completing the application form outlining how the student has demonstrated leadership through their involvement with student government, OVC student clubs, varsity sports, and/or community/non-profit organizations (including details of any leadership roles held and the total number of relevant work/volunteer hours) since admission to the DVM program. Applications should also include a completed reference form from a supervisor at one of the organizations listed on their application form. The recipient will be selected based on a combination of the student’s Phase 4 weighted average, and demonstrated leadership in student government, student clubs and organizations at the Ontario Veterinary College and/or the University of Guelph, varsity sports, and/or community/non-profit organizations, as shown by leadership roles held, the total number of work/volunteer hours, and the letter of reference, since admission to the DVM program. Academics and leadership criteria will be considered equally in the selection process. In the case of equally qualified candidates, the student with the highest DVM program average will receive the award.

Students who have completed Phase 4 of the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) program who have demonstrated leadership involvement in student government, student clubs and organizations at the Ontario Veterinary College and/or the University of Guelph, varsity sports, and/or community/non-profit organizations since admission to the DVM program. Preference will be given to students whose leadership experience is directly related to veterinary medicine or to advocating on behalf of the veterinary profession.
