Texas Cooperative Extension's fourth annual "West Texas Youth Veterinary Science Workshop" is taking applications for this summer's session. This year's workshop will be June 25-29 at the Sutton County 4-H Center in Sonora.
Pascual Hernandez, Extension agent for Sutton County and the workshop's coordinator, said the camp was designed to introduce high school students to veterinary science careers. Instructors will include university and research faculty members, Extension and Texas Animal Health Commission personnel, and veterinarians.
The workshop is limited to 30 students, Hernandez said, but participants from throughout Texas are welcome to attend. Participants must be of high school age, have an interest in veterinary science and be willing to work in teams.
Applications must be submitted to the Extension office in Sutton County by June 2. Participants will be informed of their acceptance by June 10. Individual registration is $175, due on June 16. In the event of cancellations, refunds will be offered in full until June 20. The fee is non-refundable after June 20.
