SCAVMA - Events Sponsored by the Student Chapter

Freshman- Sophomore Picnic
The Sophomore Class plans a picnic for the incoming freshmen on one of the first Saturdays of the new school year. Food, soft drinks and game equipment are provided free for the freshmen and their families or dates by the VM-2 Class and Hill's Pet Foods. A special invitation is given to those faculty members who teach the preclinical courses so that members from both classes have an opportunity to become better acquainted with each other and with the faculty as well.

Smoker 
The first Student Chapter meeting of the academic year in September, designated as the "Smoker", is set aside for the introduction of each first year veterinary student to the student body and faculty. The Smoker will be organized by the second year class, and will be held no later than the third Thursday of September.

Fall and Spring Social
Each fall and spring semester, a dance is held for all veterinary students. The event shall be planned by the Student Chapter Executive Board.

Junior- Senior Banquet
Held in the spring, this banquet is a special event for both classes and faculty. The Student Chapter pays for junior and senior students and spouses as a farewell to the graduating class. Students must be members in good standing with the Chapter to receive a paid dinner. A dance follows the banquet and costs of the band and set- ups are provided by the Student Chapter. All arrangements will be organized by the junior class.

Delegates to the National AVMA Convention
Two students are elected from the Student Chapter membership to be Missouri delegates to the National Student Symposium and to the National AVMA Convention. The election procedures and delegate duties are as written in Article X of the BY- LAWS.
