President's Message

Greetings,
As I mentioned before, while president of the IVMA I want to emphasize the importance of mentorship. I have developed many great relationships with students who have spent time at our office. Mentorship can take on many non-traditional forms including peer to peer; younger to older and nonprofessional to professional. It's definitely a 2-way street. You can learn as much from them as they do from you. It often surprises me the little things you take away from this type of relationship that mean so much later.
